Level 1 Lesson 1 (Part 1)– Hello 안녕하세요
In this lesson, you can learn how to say 안녕하세요 “Hello.” in Korean.
1. 안녕하세요 (An-nyeong-ha-se-yo) Hello For example:
This morning when you meet your friend, you should say 안녕하세요 (Hello)~ 안녕하세요 [an-nyeong-ha-se-yo] is the most common way to greet people in Korean.
So 안녕하세요 can be broken down into 안녕 (an-nyeong) and 하세요 (ha-se-yo).
An-nyeong means "peace" or "well-being".Ha-se-yo means "you do" or "do you", depending on whether is a question or noun...
When you write it, you can write it as 안녕하세요. OR 안녕하세요?
Either of them is okay...It was a originally question asking "are you doing well?", "are you at peace?", "are you...living well?"
But seems it is an expression that is SO commonly used, people kind of started not expected any special answer anymore...
Example: When you ask your friend "what's up?", do you really expect your friend's answer about what is going on?
You might also hear back "What's up?" too, right? So when you say 안녕하세요 to your friend, your friend might say to you 안녕하세요 also.. It is very important to know this politeness level...
But sometimes it is intimidating for beginners to find out that there are politeness levels,
