Q

What is a major tip regarding these words?

  2. 군 = Mr.
  3. 양 = Miss
A

Tip_ In Korea, when you have to call somebody, generally you can attach 씨 to the end of his/her name (not front). You can use 씨 for both men and women, but be careful! Sometimes it is rude to call an older person ~씨. 군 and 양 are mostly used to catch the attention of someone who is younger than you.
