In Korean, kinship terms are often used when speaking of non-kinship relations. A younger co-worker could call an older co-worker of about the same age "big sister" or "big brother", but it could be considered uncomfortably familiar... but keep your ears open when watching the dramas. These words come up often.
big sister
언니 - 누나
eonni (used by a female) - nuna (used by a male)
big brother
오빠 - 형
oppa (used by a female) - hyeong (used by a male)
Also, all older people are your "aunts" and "uncles".
Interestingly this happens also in Finland, EXCEPT THAT IT'S ONLY KIDS WHO DO IT. For an adult to call other adults uncles and aunts - unless they really are your parents' siblings - is... well, either you are intellectually a child, or you are being rude.
aunt, lady, madame (middle-aged woman, my parents' female friend)
아줌마
ajumma, ahjumma
uncle, mister (middle-aged man, my parents' male friend)
아저씨
ajeossi, ahjussi

10 interesting Korean phrases/words

1) kureso
I guess it might be "그래서(geu-rae-seo)?" meaning "so?" or "so, what?"
2) kureum
It could be "그럼(geu-reom)" meaning "so,..","then,...","well,..."
3) kureuseyo - 그러세요(geu-reo-se-yo)
I think this phrase needs examples.^^
A : Can I comment on your post? - 댓글 달아도 되나요?
B : Sure.(그러세요)
A : Mind if I comment on your post? - 댓글 달아도 되나요?
B : No, I don't mind, go ahead (그러세요)
A : I am the person who commented on your post. 제가 댓글 단 사람입니다.^^
B : Are you?(그러세요?) What a surprise!
4) kuruchi - 그렇지?(geu-reo-chi)
This phrase works like tag question in English.
You're kidding, aren't you? 농담하는 거지, 그렇지?
You did comment on her post, didn't you? 네가 댓글 달았지, 그렇지?
