What is the meaning of these korean words?

Question

I’ve been watching "Coffee Prince," and I’m curious about some Korean words that I believe are titles. Initially, I thought "ahjussi" was a name, but it gets used for multiple people, so I think it’s actually a title. Could someone please explain the meanings of these terms: "unni," "oppa," "noona," "hyung," and "dongsaeng"? Thank you!

unni = What girls say to older sisters or girls older than themselves.

oppa = What girls say to older brothers or boys older than themselves.

noona = What boys say to older sisters or girls older than themselves

hyung = What boys say to older brothers or boys older than themselves

dongsaeng = younger siblings

ahjussi is not a name. It is most commonly used for adult men that are around their mid 20’s to 40’s and even the 50’s.

Basically, it’s sort of a way to say “Sir, man” in Korean. Hope that helps.

Gwiyeopda (귀엽다) is an adjective, it means to be cute, or charming. Aigo (아이고) can be an expression, like ‘Gee!’, ‘Oh’, etc. If I’m right. 귀엽다 Romanised: Gwiyeopda Pronunciation: Gwee-yeop-da 아이고 Romanised: Aigo/Aiko Pronunciation: Aeego
