Basics:
1) 안녕하세요! [an-yong-ha-se-yo] = This is the formal way of saying Hello in Korean. You can use this in situations where you are talking to someone who you have just met, or someone you have to respect (e.g your teachers, Your boss, People who are older than you.)
2) 안녕! [an-yong!] This is the informal way of saying hello ~ It literally means "Hi!"
You can use this with people who you are more familiar with (like your friends) and people who you are close with...
3) 안녕히 계세요 [an-yong-he gye-se-yo] = Goodbye. You will say this when you are the person who is leaving.
안녕히 가세요 [an-yong-he ga-se-yo] = Goodbye. You will say this when you are the person who is staying...
Scenario ~~You are at work with you Boss, and you are leaving the office :
You: 안녕히 계세요 !
Boss: 안녕히 가세요 !
4) 어떻게 지내세요? [otto-kay-jinae-sayo?] = How are you?
** Note this is one of the many different ways that you can ask "How are you?" If you already know a different one - thats ok because there is many different ways :)
5) 잘지내요 [jal-jinae-yo] = I'm fine thanks.
** Again, please note there is many different ways that you can reply with... T_T ~~ That makes it harder to learn ~~ HAHA
6)저는 ___ 입니다. [Chonun___imnida] = Mu name is _____
Again there is a few different ways you can say this.... (Another way of saying my name is: jay-iru-muh ____ imnida..... )
7) 여보세요? [Yo-bo-se-yo?] = Hello ( on the phone)
8) 네. [ne] = Yes
9) 아니요. [aniyo] = No
10) 감사합니다. [Gam-sa-ham-nida] = Thank you!
** note: Gam is kind of pronounced like a kam sound -- (kind of a mix between the 2) But the way it is written in hangul -- it starts with a Guh sound ^-^
11) 미안합니다. [mian-ham-nida] = I am sorry!
The very very formal way of saying I am sorry is: joe-song-hamnida!
Please note that all the romanized words I have given you are different to other examples -- but they still sound the same ~~ Do not worry ^-^
I hope you liked this lesson..... :)
Next lesson we will learn some more vocabulary because In the next lesson after that ~ we are going to learn how to say " I have something" and "I Dont have something" We then can change these sentences into questions (e.g Do you have water?)
Therefore next lesson we are going to have to learn some vocabulary to understand what we are saying (or in other cases asking for...)
Also remember to practise Hangul Alphabet ~~ And in a couple of lessons time ~~ we can learn How to read hangul... (but first you have to know some words HAHA)
Looks like I'm leaving so............. 안녕히 계세요 !!!!!! Saranghey!!
Thanks so much for including additional information and explaining the use of the words. Saranghey! : )
