Learn Korean: Greeting Strangers In Korean
Let's spice up your Korean greetings beyond the usual 'annyeonghaseyo'! Instead of awkwardly waving, use 'jeogiyo' to politely get someone's attention, similar to 'excuse me'. Imagine tapping someone lightly on the shoulder and saying '-'. Need directions? Start by saying 'chajgo isseoyo', meaning 'I'm looking for'. So, "I'm looking for the post office" becomes 'Jeogiyo, '- 우체국 (ucheguk) chajgo isseoyo'. Follow up with 'aseyo?' – meaning 'Do you know where?' – to complete your question naturally. Now try it: "Excuse me, I'm looking for the subway. Do you know where '- is?" which translates to 'Jeogiyo, jihacheol (jihacheol) chajgo isseoyo. '-?' Now you're ready to confidently navigate Korea and ask strangers for help!
