How do you say.. are you awake? in Korean
Hi, first post here..

I'm after the translation for "are you awake?" please. Translation in panmal (nothing formal) and in hangul if possible.

I couldn't find any translation for awake.. so I assume I need to use some form of 면 and oppose it (use a negative)?

thanks in advance!

Answer

Because 깨어있어 means not sleeping, right? 
So you can use 안 자고 있어 as well. ^^ This has the same meaning. 
Both make sense but I usually say 안 자고 있어.

Answer

깨어있니? Are you awake?
일어났니? Did you wake up?
안 자고 있니? You don't sleep?
- to your friends

깨어있으신가요?
일어나셨나요?
안 주무시나요?
- to older people

Answer

I used to say "안 자?" or "안 자고 뭐해?" to my friend awake at midnight. I'm not sure if it's exactly the context you had in your head.

Answer

안자고 있어? is better I think... :)

Answer

Are you awake? : 깨어있어? (panmal)
