4 Ways to Say Hello in Korean πŸ‘‹

Goodbye is super similar to Hello in Korean also.

This makes it easy to get started. The only confusing bit is there are two that sound very similar, and the meanings are likewise.

μ•ˆλ…•νžˆ κ°€μ„Έμš” (annyeonghi gaseyo). This means goodbye and is used when you are staying, but the other person is leaving.

However, when you are leaving…

μ•ˆλ…•νžˆ κ³„μ„Έμš” (annyeonghi gyeseyo).

Very subtle difference :upside_down_face:

However, I learnt a new one on my trip to Seoul which is…

잘 κ°€μš” (jal gayo) - it means go well and reminds me of ζ…’θ΅° in Chinese which is used very commonly in Mainland China. It can only be used when someone else is going, not you though.

I like to use this one :smiley:
