Basic Phrases


안녕

안녕 means hello!

You say 안녕 when you're talking to friends or someone of similar equal standing - you don't say it to your grandparents or someone you respect.

안녕 also means goodbye!

In Korean, a lot of meaning comes from our tone of voice and content - it should be obvious whether you're saying hello or goodbye.

잘 지내니?

잘 지내니 is how you ask, How are you doing? in Korean.

You only use this phrase when you're talking to a friend (like above) - in other words, only when you're speaking informally.
