One often comes to hear the word “our” everywhere in the DPRK and it is necessary to pay a due attention to the word. It is because that the word reflects a true picture of the great and beautiful DPRK.
Concerning the word “our”, one pays attention first to the DPRK’s social life climate of attaching a greater importance to “our” rather than to “my”.
People save others’ child before their own from drowning, and the young people marry disabled ex-servicemen or ex-servicewomen and take due care of the elderly people with no caretakers and the parentless children. It now becomes natural and common in the DPRK where all people form a harmonious big family.
These are beautiful pictures, showing the true picture of socialist Korea, which cannot be seen in the capitalist society, a society based on individualism.
One pays attention also to the people’s habit of speaking such as calling officials, who are always with the people and devote to the society and collective, the “our leader of work-team” and the “our c
These are valuable appraisal or titles of respect and love given by the society and the collective to those who sacrifice themselves for the sake of the collective and peculiar words which can be heard only in the DPRK.
Giving importance to “our” both in the social life and in the language life is a true picture of the DPRK, a country of beautiful ethics and morality where all the people are firmly united on the strength of love and obligation and form a harmonious big family while helping and leading one another forward.
