Am I a good dongsaeng?

Question

I am not Korean, and I don't have a real Korean unni, but I call my best Korean friend Unni. Occasionally, she sends me her work and asks me if it's okay. Does it make me a good dongsaeng to correct her English papers?

Or am I only a good friend?

Answer 1

you make a good dongsaeng and a friend.

in america,  you don't call people sister if you're not related.

anyway, i met a korean friend too and i call her unni.

we email each other often.

Answer 2

Of course you are! i also have lots of unnis.they may not be korean but they also are not that fluent in speaking the language.and i corrected them whenever they make mistake.and it's good for them to learn the english language too but don't do it in a braggy way otherwise you might hurt her feelings. anyways, it would be such a great help for your unni. and it's always good to be honest.

Answer 3

u r being her friend.
