Tips to Remember (Romanized: Tips to Remember for "ajumoni"):
• Break the word into two parts: "aju" and "moni." You might think of "aju" as a sound-alike for “a lot” (implying respect) and "moni" sounding like “money.” Imagine an older lady who “racks up a lot of respect” (in a playful, mnemonic way).

Explanation (Romanized: Seol-myeong):
• "아주머니" (ajumoni) is a term used to address or refer to a middle-aged or older woman, often one you do not know personally. It is somewhat informal but still polite in everyday conversation.
• It is typically used when speaking to someone in service or when addressing an older female neighbor or store clerk.

Synonyms and Similar Expressions (Romanized: Dong-ui mal):
• "아줌마" (ajumma) is a very similar term with nearly the same meaning.
• In more formal contexts, you might use "여사님" (yeosanim) for addressing a woman respectfully, though it is generally reserved for formal situations.

Alternate Meanings/Slang (Romanized: Hyeon-sil bang-ui ui yong):
• While not exactly slang, context matters; some listeners might find "아주머니" to be too familiar or casual in formal situations.
• In humorous or relaxed conversations, it can be used jokingly among acquaintances without offense.

Examples of Sentences (Romanized: Sa-re Ui Sil-jeung):
• "아주머니, 이거 얼마예요?" (Ajumoni, igeo eolmayeyo?)
Translation: "Madam, how much is this?"
• "The 아주머니 at the corner store always greets me with a smile."
(Romanized: "Geu ajumoni neun son ga-eul gaseum soge seorido useum-eulo insa haeyo.")
• "When I got lost, the kind 아주머니 helped me find my way."
