There are seven verb paradigms or speech levels in Korean, and each level has its own unique set of verb endings which are used to indicate the level of formality of a situation. Unlike honorifics – which are used to show respect towards someone mentioned in a sentence – speech levels are used to show respect towards a speaker's or writer's audience, or reflect the formality or informality of the situation. They represent a system of honorifics in the linguistic use of the term as a grammar system, distinct from honorific titles. The names of the seven levels are derived from the non-honorific imperative form of the verb hada (하다; "to do") in each level, plus the suffix che (체), which means "style". Each Korean speech level can be combined with honorific or non-honorific noun and verb forms. Taken together, there are 14 combinations. Some of these speech levels are disappearing from the majority Korean speech . Hasoseo-che is used now mainly in movies or dramas set in Joseon era, and in religious speech. Hage-che is limited to modern male speech. Whilst Hao-che is found more commonly in the Jeolla dialect and Pyongan standard dialect. Higher levels Hasoseo-che Very formally polite Traditionally used when addressing a king, queen, or high official. When the infix op / saop , jaop (옵; after a vowel / 사옵 , 자옵; after a consonant) or sap / jap (삽 / 잡) or sao / jao (사오 / 자오) is inserted, the politeness level also becomes very high. hanaida (하나이다) becomes haomnaida (하옵나이다; non-honorific present declarative very formally very polite), hasinaida (하시나이다) becomes hasiomnaida (하시옵나이다; honorific present declarative very formally very polite). The imperative form hasoseo (하소서) also becomes haopsoseo (하옵소서; non-honorific imperative very formally very polite) and hasiopsoseo (하시옵소서; honorific imperative very formally very polite). It is used now: historical dramas religious text such as the Bible, Buddhist scriptures etc. address royalty Hasipsio-che Formally polite This conversational style is generally called either the "formal" or the "formal polite". Another name for this is hapsyo-che or 합쇼체 This is a common style of speaking.
