      PART 1 Key Words and Expressions

1	Greetings Insa (Een-sah) 인사

      Hello

      Good morning

      Good afternoon

      Good evening

      How are you?

      How do you do?

      All of these greetings are incorporated in a single Korean expression:

      Annyong haseyo. (Ahn-n’yohng hah-say-yoh)

      안녕하세요.

      This universal greeting literally means “Are you at peace?” A reply to these greetings, in all cases, may be a repetition of the above phrase preceded by ne (naay), which means “yes.”

      Ne, annyong haseyo. (Naay, ahn-n’nyohng hah-say-yoh)

      안녕하세요.

      More formal versions of these greetings are:

      Annyong hashimnikka? (Ahn-n’yohng hah-sheem-neekah?)

      안녕하십니까?

      Ye, annyong hashimnikka. (Yay, ahn-n’yohng hah-sheemnee-kah)

      예, 안녕하십니까.

      Nice to meet you.

      Mannasu bangapsumnida. (Mahn-nah-su ban-gahp-sumenee-dah)

      만나서 반갑습니다.

      How are you doing?

      Ottoke chinae shimnikka? (Aht-tah-kay chee-nay sheemnee-kah?)

      (Choh-eun ah-cheem-eem-nee-dah)

      (Ahn-yohng-hee chuu-muu-say-yoh)
