Hi, everybody! I’m Jaehwi from KoreanClass101.com. |
Do you know how to say “thank you” in Korean? In this lesson, you'll learn three different ways to say "thank you" and how to respond. |
Let’s start with the easiest one. |
감사합니다 |
[slowly] 감사합니다 |
It means “thank you.” |
If you want to be more formal, you can use this phrase. |
대단히 감사합니다. |
[slowly] 대단히 감사합니다. |
It means “thank you very much.” |
When you want to say that you deeply appreciate someone or something, make sure to bow a bit or smile. That's the best way to demonstrate the highest level of gratitude. |
To sound like a pro, you can add the reason why you're thankful. For example, 와 주셔서 대단히 감사합니다. |
“Thank you very much for coming.” |
What about between friends? Here's the way to say it. |
고마워. |
[slowly] 고마워. |
It means “thanks.” |
Now you know 3 different ways to say "thank you" in Korean! But how do you respond if someone thanks you? |
If someone thanks you in Korean, simply say 아니에요. It means "not at all." |
Let's wrap up this lesson by recapping what we've learned. Listen to the expression and repeat after me. |
“Thank you.” |
감사합니다 |
*beep |
감사합니다 |
The formal way to say “thank you very much.” |
대단히 감사합니다. |
*beep |
대단히 감사합니다. |
The casual way to say “Thanks.” |
고마워. |
*beep |
고마워. |
And to respond, just say: |
아니에요. |
*beep |
아니에요. |
Well done! [pause] |
Don't be surprised if an older person uses informal language toward you, even if you don't know each other. Age plays a big role in Korea, so sometimes older people will use the informal "thank you" to show their appreciation. |
You just learned three different ways to say “thank you” and how to respond in Korean. |
