"When I call a young female salesperson, I prefer 'here' to 'lady'".

A survey found that the vocabulary that people in Korea prefer in their daily expressions is different for each generation.

The National Institute of the Korean Language conducted a survey of 3,000 men and women aged 15 to 69 across the country on the status of Korean language use and daily expressions.

According to the survey, the difference according to age was noticeable in the words that called others, and the biggest difference was when a young female salesperson was called.

Many respondents said they preferred "lady" in the higher age group, but the younger they were, the more they used the names "here," "there," and "the boss."

The National Institute of the Korean Language analyzed that the social atmosphere that prefers neutral expressions regardless of gender and age was reflected in the name of the daily conversation of the younger generation.

In addition, there were differences in preference expressions by generation, and as a modifier emphasized in everyday life, "really," "really," "too," and "complete," "best," and "dog" are highly used in the under-20s.
