==== Hello ====
== Basic Greetings ==


Koreans usually use the word "안녕하세요?" (annyeonghaseyo?) as a standard greeting. It can be used in formal and informal situations and means "hello" or "how are you?" It's considered polite to add the person's name or title to the end of the greeting, such as "안녕하세요, 선생님?" (annyeonghaseyo, seonsaengnim?) meaning "hello, teacher?"
The most basic and widely used greeting in Korean is "안녕하세요" (annyeonghaseyo). It’s a polite way to say hello, suitable for most situations.


Other basic greetings in Korean include:

It's important to note that age and seniority play an important role in Korean society. Younger people should always use a more formal language when speaking to their elders, while older people can use informal language with younger ones.
|-


== Interesting Facts and Cultural Information ==
| 좋은 오후입니다 || joheun ohuimnida || Good afternoon


Koreans have a unique way of greeting people they are close to. They usually say "안녕, 나야!" (annyeong, naya!) which means "hello, it's me!". This is often used between close friends or family members.
|-


In Korean culture, it is customary to bow when greeting someone. The degree of the bow depends on the formality of the situation and the relative status of the people bowing to each other. A slight bow (15-degree angle) is given to peers or acquaintances, while a deeper bow (45-degree angle) is given to superiors, such as parents, teachers, or bosses.
| 좋은 오후 || joheun ohu || Good afternoon (informal)


Koreans often ask each other about their age as a way of determining their relative status. In Korean, age is counted differently. Everyone is considered one year old at birth and then adds one year to their age when the Lunar New Year passes.
