How to say yes in korean

The Formal and Polite Way

The most common and standard way to say “yes” in Korean is to use the word “ne” (Hangul: 네). “Ye” (예) is synonymous with “ne” and can be used interchangeably.

I noticed that to say YES( 네 ) some Koreans pronounce it as /deh/ and others as /neh/ which one is more correct? See a translation.

@gabrielab: gu grae is “ok or alright” dae is actually 네 which is same expression with 예 but foreigners say 네 sounds like 데 (dae).

(But no.) 아닙니다(Anibnida)

안녕하세요 (Annyeong Haseyo) – “Hello”

It’s the familiar, polite speech pattern. You use 하세요 (haseyo) to show a bit of extra respect. 하세요 comes from the verb 하다 (hada), which means “to do.” It’s a good phrase for almost all situations, especially if you’re unsure what level of formality to use.

It’s the most common polite way to say hello. It can sometimes be used to say goodbye as well! However, “annyeong-haseo” is the romanization and isn’t actually the proper way to write the words!

annyeong–hashimnikka? (in Hangul: 안녕하십니까?)

This is the most formal way of saying hello in Korean.

Namjachingu – “Boyfriend”

To call someone your boyfriend, you can use namjachingu. Similar to the previous example, this term of endearment comprises two Korean words: namja (“man”) and chingu (“friend”).

Oppa is the Korean word for ‘older brother. ‘ It is used by a younger girl to refer to an older guy. It is also used as a flirtatious way. It would be like the Korean version of ‘daddy.

정말 (chongmal) is synonymous to 진짜 (jinjja) which means ‘really’. 정말 however implies ‘truth’ in its contextual meaning.

oppa (오빠) means an ‘older brother’. It is a term used by females. However, it is widely used to address any older male that a girl feels close to, such as a brother, friend, or boyfriend. Oppa means “big brother” It is usually saying by a woman to a man.

No, 형 is only older brother for boys/men. 오빠 can be flirty but it can also just be a casual way of talking between a male and female friend. 오빠 is also used for girls/women addressing their (biological) older brother, so it depends on the situation.

Saranghaeyo (사랑해요) is the semi-formal version, to be used with people you sort of know, and is still considered not to be good friends with. All of the above mean ‘I love you‘. Sarangeul (사랑을) means ‘love’.

To answer your concerns about 오빠 sounding too flirty, it is not, unless you make it sound flirty with your accent or tone or something!
