What does Oppa mean in Korean?

"Oppa" (오빠) in Korean is a term of endearment used by younger women to address older men. It can be roughly translated as:

* Older brother (although it doesn't necessarily imply a blood relationship)

* Boyfriend (when used in a romantic context)

* Older male friend (in a casual and friendly setting)

The specific meaning of "oppa" depends on the context and the relationship between the speaker and the person being addressed.

It's important to note:

* "Oppa" is not used by men.

* The use of "oppa" is generally considered informal and should not be used when addressing someone significantly older or in a formal setting.

* In recent years, "oppa" has also gained popularity in other parts of Asia, particularly among K-pop fans.
