=== Practice Exercises ===
 
Now that you’ve learned the vocabulary, let’s put your knowledge to the test with some practice exercises!
 
==== Exercise 1: Fill in the Blanks ====

1. When you meet a friend, you say: __________
 
2. When saying goodbye to someone leaving, you say: __________


== Cultural Insights ==
3. In the morning, you greet someone with: __________


Korea is a country that values respect and hierarchy in social interactions. The way you greet someone in Korean can vary depending on the age and status of the person you are addressing. Let's take a look at some cultural insights and variations in greetings in different situations.
'''Answers:'''


=== Bowing ===
1. 안녕하세요 (annyeonghaseyo)


In Korean culture, bowing is an important gesture that accompanies greetings. When greeting someone, especially someone older or of higher status, it is customary to bow slightly as a sign of respect. The depth of the bow can vary depending on the formality of the situation. A slight nod of the head is usually sufficient in casual settings, while a deeper bow is appropriate in more formal or ceremonial situations.
2. 안녕히 가세요 (annyeonghi gaseyo)


=== Honorifics ===
3. 좋은 아침입니다 (joheun achimimnida)


Korean language has a unique system of honorifics, which are linguistic expressions used to show respect and politeness. Honorifics are an important aspect of greetings in Korean. When addressing someone older or of higher status, it is common to use honorific titles or suffixes to show respect. For example, if you are speaking to someone older, you can add "오빠" (oppa) for older brother or male friend, or "언니" (eonni) for older sister or female friend. These honorific titles are used in addition to the basic greeting.
==== Exercise 2: Match the Phrases ====


=== Regional Variations ===
Match the Korean phrases with their English translations.


Korea has different dialects and regional variations in language, which can also affect greetings. For example, in the southern region of Korea, people often use the greeting "어여 (eoyeo)" instead of "안녕하세요 (annyeonghaseyo)" to say hello. The word "어여" has a similar meaning to "안녕하세요" but is more commonly used in the southern dialect.
1. 안녕하세요       a. Goodbye (to someone staying)
