What's Oppa xD
Look at the post above you and you'll see.
What's Oppa xD
What's Oppa xD
a way to address older people. it's around the equivalent of sempai/senpai in Japanese.
ah ok - thanks
oppa is not like senpai. sunbae/sunbaenim would be more equivalent to senpai. oppa is something a girl calls an older male. could be your brother, could be someone unrelated to you. but i also don't think a girl would necessarily call any older guy "oppa" so i'm not sure about the underlying connotations of the word.
no, but those weebs posting without thinking would probably think it's around the same meaning.. especially if you look into animes and games.
ok but i was just saying what it really means not what weebs think it means.
yeah exactly, but that weeb post were obviously referring to it as oppa=senpai meaning cause they don't know better, even if it's not that in real life language.
but i'm replying to that person who asked what oppa was, so i gave them a real definition of it, rather than telling them the wrong "weeb" definition. i don't really care what weebs think it means because that's irrelevant.
ah. well i thought they were referring to the text itself and whoever weeb actually there referred to it as senpai and not the real def. also not really irrelevant but whatever.
if you're talking about the yahoo answer, it doesn't sound like oppa was used as senpai because there's not really the equivalent for oppa in japanese?? unless someone can correct me. oppa can just mean older brother (which oniisan/chan would be, but it's still different because i doubt you'd use that for a male you have romantic feelings for, which you can with oppa lmao)
Looked like that to me at least cause whoever made that yahoo thing obviously mixed korean and japanese to no end. and i was talking about them using senpai/oppa as a weeb expression for someone they presumably love a lot and not only using oppa for anyone.
they are mixing korean and japanese, but that doesn't mean they're using oppa incorrectly or as senpai. they're just using it as a term of...endearment for someone they have feelings for. doesn't make it any less cringe, but it's not wrong necessarily.
who cares just drop it
