Anyohaseyo ▶ An-Nyeong(ɳ)-Ha-Se-Yo
============================================================
I notice that when I say in English 'I went to school' in Korean it turns out to be 'School, I went' or 'I haven't eaten', in Korean it would be 'Eaten, I haven't.' These simple phrases, I noticed them because of watching k-drama's with subtitles but I'm not sure and confused if I'm right?
Answer
1. In English
S + V
S + V + C
S + V + O
==> There is a strict rule in word order. It will be never chaged.
2. In Korean
Usually backward against English
And very flexable in word order.
Usually there are a lot of skips of Subjects or Objects, especially in speaking.

Besides I noticed that there are 2 ways to say goodbye in Korean. Sorry I don't know how to write in Korean, but what I would like to say is 'annyonghi haseyo' and 'jal ga'. What is the difference between them? This difference in the way of speaking I found also with the word thank you in Korean: 'comsamida' 'comawo' or 'comapta'--> what is the difference?
comsamida " 감 - 사 - 합 - 니 - 다 " " Gam - Sa - Hap - Nee - Da "
▶ Used to tell the people who order than you and don't know eachother.
comawo " 고 - 마 - 워 " " Go - Ma - Wo(War) "
▶ Used to tell the people who younger than you and friends.
comapta " 고 - 맙 - 다 " " Go - Map - Da "
▶ Not many used in Speaking. It is a natural form of comawo and comsamida.
1. In English
Please ~
Would you ~
==> It is the formal and courteous expressions. But it is used when ask someone's favor.
2. In Korean
~~~ " Da "
Example ) Gam - Sa - Hap - Nee - Da
like "Da" is always used in Korean to order people or as a formal expression.
Beacuse Korea had a rigid position system until 20th like India's 'Kast' especially due to Japan's invasion era.
But westen countries broke these rules thanks to the Civil Revoutions in 17~19th.
Revoutionsts insist that we should do the same without discrimination
That's the one of the reasons why we use honorific words in our life.
