Lesson 7 Part 2 More Common Greeting Words I wish I could tell you not to worry about these. Of course, I can tell you “don’t worry about these,” but I don’t think that will do. When learning a language, everybody wants to learn these words as soon as possible. I understand that completely, but I have purposely waited to teach you these types of words. In fact, I still don’t want to show them to you – but at this point I am sure you are asking yourself “I’ve gotten this far and I still don’t even know how to say ‘goodbye’ yet!” In Korean, it is much easier to understand these words/phrases if you also understand why they are used the way they are. Unfortunately, we haven’t reached the point where you can understand this. We will get to that in a few more lessons. Either way, here are some very common phrases which I am sure you are dying to know: • 안녕히 가세요 = Goodbye (said to somebody going) • 안녕히 계세요 = Goodbye (said to somebody staying) • 만나서 반갑습니다 = Nice to meet you • 실례합니다 = Excuse me • 죄송합니다/미안합니다 = Sorry • 이름이 뭐예요? = What is your name? • 저의 이름은 ______이에요 = My name is • 어디에서 왔어요? = Where are you from? • 저는 _______에서 왔어요 = I am from If you can’t memorize them, that is okay. I still maintain the position that you should put off memorizing these until you can understand the grammar within them. Admin. Aira
