explain it to me like i'm 5: "noona" and "unnie"
hey all!
for context, the only korean i know is what i learned from my white american taekwondo instructor for a year and a half when i was in middle school.
i've been watching a lot of korean tv/movies lately (not just squid game i promise) and i keep hearing people being referred to/calling others "unnie" and "noona". are these just friendly nicknames like "bro" or "girl" or is there a certain formality/connotation/gender implication to them? super curious about korean linguistics and would love to hear what you all think!
