However, when the topic or subject can be understood among the speakers or from the context, it is often omitted. Personal pronouns are avoided; instead, the person’s name or the appropriate way of addressing the person is used.  \n2) How to address people politely  \nYou should not call family members by name unless they are from a younger generation. More information about terms of address for relatives can be found on pages 8 and 9.  \nThe gender-neutral suffix, 씨 (ssi), is similar to Mr/Miss/Ms in English and can be used as a polite way to address someone who is of a similar age or social position. With junior or younger colleagues at work, you use their name followed by the gender-neutral suffix, for example, 김소영 (Kim Soyeong) would be called 김소영 씨 (Kim Soyeong ssi) or 소영 씨 (Soyeong ssi) . With senior or older colleagues, the name and the position of the person would be used followed by the gender-neutral honorific suffix 님 (nim) . For example, a manager called 김소영 (Kim Soyeong) would be known as 김소영 부장님 (Kim Soyeong bujangnim) or, giving only the surname, 김 부장님 (Kim bujangnim) .  \n3) Verb forms  \nThere are different levels of politeness in Korean, and polite forms suitable for use among family, friends, and colleagues have been used in t","cbCaif4OPdsDCqVg","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaif4OPdsDCqVg","pdf",15812570,147,"English","# 5 the essentials\n## 17 transport\n## 31 in the home\n## 45 at the shops\n## 67 day-to-day\n## 85 leisure\n## 99 sport\n## 113 health\n## 129 planet earth\n## 143 celebrations and festivals\n# introduction\n## Word order\n## How to address people politely\n## Verb forms\n## Particles\n# the basics | 기본 어휘 및 표현","[{\"question\":\"What is the basic word order in Korean and when can parts be omitted?\",\"answer\":\"Korean word order is subject–object–verb.
