씨
ssi · TOPIK 1
Mr./Ms. (honorific suffix)
씨 = hanja 氏 (clan, family name), added after a name as a polite Mr./Ms.
氏 means clan or family name, the same character behind Japanese -shi and Chinese shì. Korean attaches 씨 after a full or given name (민수 씨) as a neutral polite title. Sound hook: ssi is like a hissed English 'see', as in 'See you, Minsu-ssi.'
