Korean!

Hi or Anyo or Anyohaseyo? 

Anyo ▶ An-Nyeong(ɳ)

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.
