>i fucking hate nicknames
low class people do that

in real life you refer to other people bu their surname or if you're friendly with them by the given christian name

>>214527759 (OP)
i dont like surnames, most dont make any sense and have no connection to your ancestors history at all especially on a colonized country like ours. people should be identified by a hash and use a name of choice for daily stuff

wow, brazil never ceases to surprise me. what a fucking pseudocountry

we have no nickname culture
in south korea, calling someone by a nickname is considered extremely rude
but i've heard that china and chinese-speaking states have a nickname culture similar to that in latin america
for example, "ling ling" and "mei mei" are nicknames

>>214527987
>ling ling
do they really

>>214527759 (OP)
We will either find a way to shorten the name Ng or slap a y on the end, so no

>>214527987
we are similar in that way. if you call someone by a nickname you are essentially giving them dog status.

>>214528039
sounds super gay

>>214527987
don't chinese pipo pick these nicknames themselves when they "reach adulthood"

>>214528008
westerners vaguely believe that south korea, china, and japan share similar cultures, but that's simply not true
china, while a communist, authoritarian country, is in some ways far more open and less conservative than south korea or japan
south korea and japan are extremely conservative in their interpersonal relationships
our culture is entirely hierarchical, with hierarchical relationships and highly specialized honorifics
in south korea or japan, even a single mistake in using honorifics incorrectly among acquaintances or family can result in a severe reprimand

>>214528183
I married a Korean woman and I call her parents ummonim and abeonim and honestly don’t even know her fathers actual name because I’ve only ever called him abeonim lol

>>214528226
>umm
>ab
are koreans secretely arabs?

>>214527759 (OP)
Nicknames are useful when there is more than one person of the same name. At my work the boss was Cameron (guy) and there was another worker named Cameron (girl), everyone just naturally defaulted to calling the guy Cam and the girl Cameron

>>214528261
Well you try transliterating 어머님

I don't hate nicknames but I hate when people have nicknames as their actual name.

>>214528226
isn't that like a long term disaster? i mean, i don't know my gfs parents names, but i feel like i should :DD

here people call each other by nicks/abbreviations only if you're friends
you almost never hear someone call somebody call Michael "Mike" or some shit normally and our society is way more chaotic than anglo societies
like even if here the "boss" is seen as a king, everyone will still take the piss out of them and not give a shit when not in their presence

>>214528291

in south korea or japan, saying things like "hey taejin, come on!" or "hey nozomi, come here!" to your parents could get you beaten in the butt with a baseball bat
we never refer to our parents by their first names
here, it's considered the rudest thing ever

>>214527759 (OP)
The data miners are getting creative it seems. Don't give him your names folks, because this man's name is definitely Moshe.

>>214528460
i would never ever call my parents or parents of my friends by a nickname. and if someone gets called by a nickname you most certainly will get your ass kicked hard from disrespect.

>>214527759 (OP)
This is a popular trend with millennial parents naming their kids and it's fucking annoying. Fuck you.

we are not so strict about our culture when it comes to people from outside our culture

>>214528576
Yeah I’ve noticed that but I still try to do the bare minimum like accepting or giving things with both hands instead of one etc

>>214527778
No, it's Carlos.

>>214527759 (OP)
No middle names either, right?
I'm named after my dad, so I used to go by my middle name in my very, very early years. But then in kindergarden the teacher noticed and said
>No, people should call you by your first name. Everyone, please call anon by his name
And I've been using my first name ever since
I'm glad because I feel like I dodged a bullet. I don't dislike my middle name, but life is easier when you just use your first name

>>214528349
i often believe that the reason south koreans and japanese feel less happy, more conservative, and more stubborn than other east asians is because of our honorific culture
because we live in a culture where honorifics are extremely hierarchically structured, interpersonal relationships are constantly tense and stressful
our culture leaves no room for relaxation

>>214528718
is that why you drink so much?

>>214527759 (OP)
>have nickname name
>everyone called my my last name nickname that made no sense
>friends being given the full name version of my name was called the nickname aka my name

>>214527759 (OP)
Traditionally, we used to add suffixes to given names, but no one does it anymore, most of them became surnames
Jean -> Jeannot
Suzanne -> Suzette
Jacques - Jacquot

There are others diminutives that are shortened forms of the names and are actual given names or surnames, but it still rare
Frédéric -> Ferry
Robert -> Robin
Médéric -> Merry

It's a bit cringe but close people may call each other by duplicating one syllable
Lucie -> Lulu
Noé -> Nono
Joseph -> Jojo

If it's a compound name, you can keep the first part of the name and cut at the first syllable of the second part
Marie-José -> Marie-Jo
Jean-Michel -> Jean-Mi
Anne-Sophie -> Anne-So

But you can just replace a compound name by its initials
Jean-Pierre -> JP
Pierre-Alexis -> PA
Jean-Marie -> JM

But yeah, we don't really use diminutives anymore

For Henry, Anglos have Harry, the French have... Riton.

>>214528576
Are korean zoomers more relaxed about using honorifics and more open to speaking casually

>>214528757
maybe?
after 10 p.m., the subways in seoul and tokyo are filled with drunken office workers leaving work
you know what's funny? when employees of large south korean or japanese companies are sent to european or american branches, they never want to return home
because they don't want to be stressed again

>>214528601
you're a good son-in-law then

>>214529027
i can't say i find it funny, but i am curios... so what is it about the other places that seem better? or to put it different: what is it about korea that makes it feel like hell?
