Korean! Hi or Anyo or Anyohaseyo? 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? 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?

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.

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.

I'm facing the same problem about the grammar, However, "Jal Ga" "잘가" literally means "go safely" and it's an informal way of saying goodbye. If I am wrong I hope other Korean native speakers can correct me. (;
