Let's learn about "연결이 안 됩니다"

연결이 안 됩니다  :I can’t get through to this number; I’m having trouble connecting: I’m not being transferred; There’s no answer; The line goes dead

<반말(talking down to)>
- 연결이 안 된다. (to younger people or friends)

- 연결이 안 돼요. (honourific by '-요')

* [Memo]
* Extreme honorifics(극존칭) are not used when the subject(주어) is not a person(사람). In other words, extreme honorifics(극존칭) are used only when the subject(주어) is a person(사람) :  주어가 사람이 아닌 경우는 극존칭을 사용하지 않는다. 즉, 주어가 사람인 경우에만 극존칭을 사용한다
