Learn Korean: Greetings And Introductions In Korean
Let's dive into some fresh Korean greetings and introductions that go beyond the basics. While "mannaseo bangapseumnida" is common, elevate it by adding "jeongmal" (really) at the beginning for extra enthusiasm: "Jeongmal mannaseo bangapseumnida!". Imagine meeting a future business partner and saying, "Jeongmal mannaseo bangapseumnida! I look forward to working with you." "Oraenmanieyo" literally translates to "It's been a while," but its usage is broader than English. Use it even if you just saw someone yesterday but haven't spoken in a while, like, "Oraenmanieyo! How have you been?". Want a casual greeting for friends? "Mwoga geurae joh-a?" literally means, "What's so good?" implying, "What's making you so happy/excited?" Next time you see your friend, try: "Mwoga geurae joh-a? -'! I haven't seen you around lately." Step up your introductions with "yeonggwangimnida," a more formal and respectful way to express pleasure in meeting someone. For instance, if introduced to a company CEO, you might say, "Yeonggwangimnida. I've heard so much about your work." Now you have some fresh phrases to add to your Korean conversational toolkit.
