most of the Korean words the literal meaning differs from the meaning known between people Example 안녕하세요. the literal meaning is: 안녕 = well-being, peace, health하세요 = you do, do you?, please do but known between people is hello and the same thing to 좋은 아침이에요. but the word안녕하세요. prevalent more and it's means:hello. hi. how are you? good afternoon.good evening. good morning etc.......

FWIW, I see the people answering by translating it literally. However; I never, ever hear that used as a greeting. 아침 does mean morning, but it also means "Breakfast." :). Someone may ask if you've had breakfast as a morning greeting. Normally, people use the greetings you learn in Korean without respect for time of day. However; upon parting a business, or getting out of a cab in the morning, I sometimes say (and sometimes hear my wife and relatives say) 좋은 하루 듸세요, which is telling someone to have a good day. That's as close as I get to the western greetings like "good morning." But note that was used when parting, too :). It'd be good to hear from a few natives when they pause long enough to think if it is normal, but from my observations, time of day greetings like "good morning" or "good evening" aren't used.
