The common greeting words in Korean: First time meeting

Korean conversations are known for their warmth and respect, which is evident in the variety of greeting words used. The formal greeting "안녕하세요" (annyeonghaseyo) is commonly used to greet new people or in formal situations. 

On the other hand, the more casual "안녕" (annyeong) is used among friends or younger individuals. To show extra respect to older or higher-status individuals, the greeting "안녕하십니까" (annyeonghasimnikka) is appropriate. In a more intimate setting, the phrase "안녕이라고 해" (annyeongirago hae) can be used, meaning "just say 'annyeong'." 

It is important to understand that the use of greetings in Korean reflects the level of intimacy and respect and helps foster a sense of togetherness and respect in communication. Having knowledge of these greetings not only facilitates pleasant conversations, but also promotes more intimate and friendly interpersonal relationships.

Here are the common greeting words in Korean:

← previous   |  next → In Korean, to quote or relay someone else's statement, we can use the construction "~자고" (~jago) or "~냐고" (~nyago).  For example, if someone wanted to say "He said that he would come," they could convey it as "그는 올 거라고 했어요", using "~자고."  On the other hand, if we want to say "Is he coming?" by including an oral expression, we can express it as "그는 올 거냐고?" using "~냐고."
