Korean pronouns
Korean pronouns pose some difficulty to speakers of English due to their complexity. The Korean language makes extensive use of speech levels and honorifics in its grammar, and Korean pronouns also change depending on the social distinction between the speaker and the person or persons spoken to.
In general, Koreans avoid using second person singular pronouns, especially when using honorific forms.
==Overview of pronouns==
For each pronoun there is a humble/honorific and an informal form for first and second person. In the above table the first pronoun given is the humble one, which one would use when speaking to someone older or of high social status. Note that ''dangsin'' (당신) is also sometimes used as the Korean equivalent of "dear" as a form of address. Also, whereas uses of other humble forms are straightforward, ''dangsin'' must be used only in specific social contexts, such as between two married partners. In that way it can be used in an ironic sense when used between strangers, usually during arguments and confrontations. It is worth noting that ''dangsin'' is also an honorific third-person pronoun, used to refer to one's social superior who is not present.
There are two third person pronouns, male and female; however, the female form sounds awkward (due to its similarities with a profanity, 그년), and is mostly used when translating texts from other languages. Korean originally had only a gender-neutral third person pronoun, ''geu'' (그), which could mean ''she'' or ''he''. However it has increasingly been interpreted as a "male" pronoun used for both genders. Although in recent years the pronoun ''geunnyeo'' (그녀) is slowly gaining ground as a female counterpart due to the influence of translations from European languages, it is almost restricted to specific styles of written language, because Korean generally uses subjectless or modifier+noun constructions.
