| Cultural Insight |
| Becky: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight. |
| Kyejin: You've learned how to ask where someone is going. Do you want to know how to say "See you?" 갔다오세요(gatdaoseyo.) literally means “go and come back.” Koreans say this when someone is leaving and they know that person is coming back. It can be translated as “See you.” 다녀오세요(danyeooseyo.) makes it honorific. |
