하세요

= you do, do you?, please do

안녕하세요

is the most common way of greeting someone in Korean, and

안녕하세요

존댓말

[jondaetmal], polite/formal language. When someone greets you with

안녕하세요

, youcan simply greet the person

 back with

안녕하세요

.

Sample Conversation

A:

안녕하세요

.

 [annyeong-haseyo] = Hello.B:

안녕하세요

.

 [annyeong-haseyo] = Hi.

감사합니다

. = Thank you.

감사

+

합니다

=

감사합니다

.

[gam-sa] [hap-ni-da]

감사

= appreciation, thankfulness, gratitude

합니다

= I do, I am doing

감사합니다

is the most commonly used formal way of saying “Thank you.”

감사

means “grati-

tude” and

합니다

means “I do” or “I am doing” in

존댓말

, polite/formal language, so together itmeans “Thank you.” You can use this expression,

감사합니다

, whenever you want to say “Thankyou.” in English

.

Lesion 2

After listening to this lesson, when you are asked a YES/NO question, you will be able to answerthat question with either YES or NO in Korean.

아니요

In Korean, “Yes” is

[ne]

and “No” is

아니요

[aniyo]

존댓말

[jondaetmal]

, polite language.

.

[ne]

= Yes.

아니요

.

[aniyo]

= No.

But in Korean, when people say “

”, it is not the same as saying “Yes.” in English. The samegoes for “

아니요

” too. This is because the Korean “

” expresses your “

agreement

” to what the

other person said. And “

아니요

” expresses your “

disagreement

” or “denial” to what the other

person said.

For example,

someone asks you “You don’t like coffee?” (

커피

좋아해요

?

[keo-pi an jo-a-hae-yo?]

in Korean) and if 

your answer is “No, I don’t like coffee.” you have to say “

.”

Strange?

So it is more accurate to put it this way.

.

[ne]

= That’s right. / I agree. / Sounds good. / What you said is correct.

아니요

.

[aniyo]

= That’s not right. / I don’t agree. / What you said is not correct.

Therefore, when you ask “You don’t like coffee?” in Korean, if the person answering doesn’t likecoffee, he/she will say “No.” in English but “

” in Korean. And if the person DOES like coffee,he/she will say “Yes.” but “

아니요

” in Korean.

커피

좋아해요

? [keo-pi jo-a-hae-yo?] = Do you like coffee?

.

좋아해요

.

 [ne. jo-a-hae-yo] = Yes, I like coffee

커피

좋아해요

? [keo-pi jo-a-hae-yo?] = Do you like coffee?

아니요

.

좋아해요

. [aniyo. an jo-a-hae-yo] = No, I don’t like coffee.

커피

좋아해요

? [keo-pi an jo-a-hae-yo?] = You don’t like coffee?

아니요

.

좋아해요

. [aniyo. jo-a-hae-yo] = Yes, I like coffee.

커피

좋아해요

? [keo-pi an jo-a-hae-yo?] = You don’t like coffee?

.

좋아해요

. [ne. an jo-a-hae-yo] = No, I don’t like coffee.You don’t have to worry about the other parts of the sample sentences above. Just remember

that the Korean system for saying YES and NO is different from the English system.

is more than just YES or THAT’S RIGHT.

While

[ne] is used to express “Yes” or “That’s right”, it is also used as a conversation filler.If you listen to two Korean people talking with each other, you will hear them sa

ying

quiteoften, even when it is not intended to mean “Yes”.So two people can have a conversation like this. Imagine it is all in Korean.

A: You know what, I bought this book yesterday,

B:

. [ne]

A: and I really like it.

B:

.

A: But it’s a bit too expensive.B:

.A: Do you know how much it was?B: How much was it?

A: It was 100 dollars!

B:

? [ne?]

A: So I paid the money with my credit card.

B:

.

A: But I still like it a lot because it’s a book by Kyeong-eun Choi, one of the teachers at Talk

-

ToMeInKorean.comB:

...So, as you can see from the dialog above,

[ne]

is a multi-player. It can be:

Yes. / That’s right

but also,

I see. / I got it. / I’m here! (when someone calls you) / I understand. / Ah-ha. / etc...

맞아요

.

Because

[ne] and

아니요

[aniyo] are focused more on your agreement and disagreementrather than whether something is true or not, and ALSO because

can mean “I see.” or “Ah-ha.”as well, Korean people often add this expression,

맞아요

[ma-ja-yo] after

[ne].

,

맞아요

. [ne, ma-ja-yo] = Yes, that’s right.

This is in order to express more strongly and clearly that you are saying “You’re right.” rather thansounding like you are just passively listening, while nodding.

again.

is amazing. It can be many things alre

ady, but it can also be “What did you say?”Suppose someone said something to you but you couldn’t hear the person well or you weren’tpaying much attention. Then you can say “

well.” You can also use “

Lesion 3 có audio

After listening to this lesson, you will be able to say good-bye in Korean.Do you remember how to say “Hello.” in Korean?

안녕하세요

.

[an-nyeong-ha-se-yo]

If you remember

안녕하세요

, that is fantastic. And if you even remember that “

안녕

” in

안녕하세요

means “peace” and “well-being”, that is even more fantastic.

안녕

[an-nyeong] = well-being, peace, health

And in Korean, when you say “Good-bye” in formal/polite Korean,

존댓말

[jondaetma

l], there

are two types of expressions, and both of these expressions have the word

안녕

[an-nyeong] in

them.

One is when you are the one who is leaving.And the other is when you are the one who is staying.

If you are leaving, and the other person is (or the other people are) staying, you can say:

안녕히

계세요

.

[an-nyeong-hi gye-se-yo]

If you are staying, an the other person is (or the other people are) leaving, you can say:

안녕히

가세요

.

[an-nyeong-hi ga-se-yo]

For now, don’t worry about the literary meaning of the expressinos and just learn them as they

are, but if you are really curious and if we were forced to translate these greetings, they would

be translated like this.

안녕히

계세요

. = Stay in peace

안녕히

가세요

. = Go in peace.

But again, don’t worry about the literal meaning of these greetings JUST YET!

** One tip Hyunwoo would like to give you:

When Korean people say

안녕하세요

[an-nyeong-ha-se-yo],

안녕히

계세요

[an-nyeong-hi gye-se-yo] or

안녕히

가세요

[an-nyeong-hi ga-se-yo], they don’t always pronounce EVERY singleletter clearly. So often times, what you would hear is just the ending part, “

세요

” [se-yo].So you

can deliberately sound more fluent by just saying

세요

[se-yo] for all of these occasion

After listening to this lesson, you will be able to say “I am sorry” or “I apologize” and you will

also be able to get someone’s attention when you want to say something to them or ordersomething in a restaurant.

죄송합니다

.

[joe-song-hap-mi-da]

Do you remember how to say “Thank you” in Korean?It is

감사합니다

.

[gam-sa-ham-ni-da]

If you also remember that

감사합니다

is basically

감사

(“appreciation” or “thankfulness”) plus

합니다

(“I do”), you can assume that

죄송합니다

is also

죄송

plus

합니다

.

죄송

[joe-song]

means “apology”, “being sorry” or “feeling ashamed”, and

합니다

[hap-ni-da]

means “I do”, so

죄송합니다

[joe-song-hap-ni-da] means “I am sorry.” or “I apologize.”

죄송합니다

is NOT always “I’m sorry”.

Even though

죄송합니다

[joe-song-hap-

ni-da] is BASICALLY “I’m sorry”, you can’t use

죄송합니

when you want to say “

I am sorry to hear that.

Many Korean people actually get confused when they talk about some bad news to their Eng-

lish-speaking friends and hear “I’m sorry” from them.

If you say “I’m sorry.” after you hear a piece of bad news from your Korean friend, he or shemight say “

Why are YOU apologizing for that?

” to you.

This is because

죄송합니다

ONLY means “I apologize.”, “It was my bad.”, “Excuse me.” or “I

shouldn’t have done that.” It can never mean “I’m sorry to hear that.

저기요

.

[jeo-gi-yo]

In English, you can use the expression “Excuse me.” in all of the following situations.

1) when you are passing through a crowd of people2) when you are leaving the room for a second3) when you want to get someone’s attention and talk to them or let them know something4) when you want to call the waiter in a restaurant or a cafe to order something

저기요

[jeo-gi-yo]

is an expression that can be translated to “Excuse me” but this Koreanexpression,

저기요

is ONLY used for situation number 3 and 4 above.

How do you say “

Excuse me.

” when you want to pass through?

You can say:

잠시만요

.

[jam-si-man-yo] (literal meaning: “Just a second.”)

죄송합니다

.

[joe-song-ham-ni-da] (literal meaning: “I am sorry.”)

잠깐만요

.

[jam-kkan-man-yo] (literal meaning: “Just a second.”)** Yes, “jamsimanyo” and “jamkkanmanyo” are the same thing.These are the most commonly used expressions. You don’t have to memorize them right now,

but they are just good to know

In this lesson, we are going to introduce how to say “

from A to B

” when talking about

locations

and “

from A until B

” when talking about

time.

Basically, if you look at the big picture,

에서

 [e-seo] and

부터

 [bu-teo] mean “from”

and

까지

 [kka-ji] means “to” or “until”

First, let’s look at how to say “from A” in Korean. Basically,

에서

[e-seo] and

부터

[bu-teo] both

mean “from” and they are usually interchangeable, but in cases where they are

N OT

-

changeable,

에서

is associated more often with locations and

부터

is associated more often with

time.

Like all the other particles,

부터

,

에서

, and

까지

are used AFTER a noun or

a pronoun, not BE

-

FORE one.

“From A” in Korean is “A

에서

” or “A

부터

Examples

1. From Seoul

=

서울

에서

[seo-ul-e-seo]

서울

부터

 [seo-ul-bu-te] ** = “starting from Seoul”

2. From now

=

[ji-geum-e-seo] ( x )

부터

[eo-je-bu-teo]

Now, “to B” or “until B” in Korean is “B

 [kka-ji].”

Examples

1. (From somewhere else) to Seoul

=

서울

까지

[seo-ul-kka-ji]

2. Until now

How much (money) =

[eol-ma]

How + adjective/adverb =

 [eol-ma-na]

word order of the sentences is much more flexible (thanks in part to the subject/topic/object

markers), they can come in at various parts of sentences, depending on the context or the nu

n this lesson, we are taking a look at how to use the sentence ending “-(

따름이다

”. This

is used to express the meaning of “only” as in “we can only ...” or “what I did is just ...”. This is

a somewhat formal ending and can be found in many official (usually apologetic) statements

as well as contexts where the speaker is expressing hope or regret, such as “I only did what he

told me, but ...” or “we can only wait for the result now”.

Construction

Present / Future Tense:
