What is 하게체?
하게체 is used to familiarly address someone without lowering oneself. It can be used to show respect when the other
person is of lower social standing but not necessarily young in absolute age, but it is no longer common in the present day.
You will still hear 하게체 used in daily conversation but due to its slightly archaic tone it will usually only
be used by older people. A young person speaking using 하게체 will tend to sound quite awkward.
Like 하오체, 하게체 is primarily used in historical dramas and other works set in the past. When used in modern times,
it is often to portray a dignified character; like a king, a high-ranked noble, or a chill uncle.
