In the case of Kim Jong Il, his title of shogun is accompanied by "nim," which is used in DPRK and the Republic of Korea as address to show deference to a higher-ranking person, much in the same way "sama" is used in Japanese. |
金正日については「将軍様(将軍ニム)」とも呼ばれるが、北朝鮮や大韓民国では上司や上位者に対しては肩書きの下に「ニム()」つまり日本でいう「様」をつける習慣がある。 |
