| Jun 6, 2017 at 6:49 | comment | added | ryanbrainard | note that I said, "I know that usually 2nd person subjects are just omitted, and this works fine it most situations, but occasionally, I really just want to say 'you' to describe who I'm talking about." I know that you usually omit the subject, but what happens when the listener says, "누구요?" and you need to clarify? | |

| Jun 6, 2017 at 6:46 | comment | added | user237 | @ryanbrianard Pls look at the second last of my answer. I already said you should not address the random person under such a circumstance. | |
| Jun 6, 2017 at 6:42 | comment | added | ryanbrainard | Because all of these require you to know the identity, name, or title of the person, which is not what I was asking about. For example, what if you're talking to some random person on the street and you don't know his or her name/title, there's no relationship so no word like 고객님 to be used, etc. | |

| Jun 6, 2017 at 6:30 | comment | added | user237 | @ryanbrainard I don't understand why you think I am not answering the question. | |
| Jun 5, 2017 at 21:22 | comment | added | ryanbrainard | I probably should have made it clearer in the question, but the key point was "when you do not know his or her name or title." These all depend on that. | |
