선배 sunbae <-- someone who studied longer than you.
후배 hoo bae <-- someone who studied less than you.
형 hyung = older guy, from perspective of a boy
오빠 oppa = older guy, from perspective of a girl
누나 nuna = older girl, from perspective of a boy
언니 unni = older girl, from perspective of a girl
동생 dong seng = younger boy or girl, from either perspective of a boy and girl.

@andrewhan8 to add on, 선후배 isn't who studied more or less than you. It's the timing they entered the institution compared to you.
For example, if you're in grade 10 and this girl is in grade 11, she is your 선배 because she's been there longer than you.
In the workplace: you've worked at this company for 2 years now, and you meet this guy who just entered the company, he is your 후배.

if they entered the institution sooner than you, it means they have more experience, i.e. studied more than you. They honor this fact. this is the concept of 선배 and 후배.

@andrewhan8 No, entering an institution sooner does not necessarily mean they studied more. I could have entered school 2 years earlier than you and never studied, therefore saying that it is basing on how much they studied doesn't go.
It's based on mostly on timing and experience

That is why 선배 has the responsibility to uphold, to study more and know more than their 후배.
The reason why korean people respect the elders is because being older means they have spent more time living which means they have more experience, which means they know more. They want to honour this.
what you are saying means that they should stop respecting elders too, since spending more time doesn't necessarily mean you will be studying more.

@andrewhan8 No, do not put words in my mouth.
You originally said someone who "studied" more than you is your 선배. And I said experience and timing, not you.
I study more than someone that is at a higher grade than me. I study for 4 hours a day, and my friend that is a grade higher than me studies for only 2 hours a day. Does that make me his 선배 now? No. Because he is at a higher grade than I am, and has more experience than I do.
You're either purposely twisting my words or just misinterpreting them.
I hope you're realizing, you're now just repeating what I'm saying.

@andrewhan8@szieit one last question to make sure I understand, if I'm 24 and my friend is 28 but we are in the same class/year/course of university he is my 오빠 and 선후배 right?

he will be your 오빠, and you will be a 동생. you guys are neither 선배 or 후배. 선후배 is not a word.
