Usage notes
해체 (haeche) is a 반말 (banmal, “crude language”) speech level used most often between close friends and relatives, and when addressing younger acquaintances. Like other speech levels, it is applied to verbs and adjectives.
Korean words inflected in this speech level are quite short, often just the unadorned stem:
- 해 (hae, “does; do!”)
- 했어 (haesseo, “did”)
