Honorific language is a form of speech that conveys respect and politeness, often used in various cultures, particularly in Korean and Japanese. It involves specific words, phrases, and grammatical structures that elevate the status of the person being addressed or referred to, reflecting social hierarchies and relationships. In Korean, for example, different verb endings and vocabulary are used depending on the age and status of the listener. Similarly, Japanese employs honorifics like keigo to show respect. This language style helps maintain social harmony and acknowledges the importance of relationships in communication.
