| Welcome to Can Do Korean by KoreanClass101.com. |
| In this lesson, you’ll learn how to use parting expressions in Korean. |
| For example, "Goodbye." is |
| 안녕히 계세요. (An-nyeong-hi gye-se-yo.) |
| Yeon-a Yu is leaving the local coffee shop after receiving her coffee. The barista says, "Goodbye." |
| Before you hear their conversation, let’s preview some of its key components. |
| 안녕히 가세요 (An-nyeong-hi ga-se-yo) |
| "Goodbye" literally "Go in peace." |
| 안녕히 가세요. (enunciated) |
| 안녕히 가세요. |
| 안녕히 계세요 (An-nyeong-hi gye-se-yo) |
| "Goodbye" lit. "Stay in peace" |
| 안녕히 계세요 (enunciated) |
| 안녕히 계세요 |
| Focus on the way each person says goodbye. |
| Listen to the conversation. |
| Ready? |
| 안녕히 가세요. (An-nyeong-hi ga-se-yo. ) |
| 안녕히 계세요. (An-nyeong-hi gye-se-yo. ) |
| Once more with the English translation. |
| 안녕히 가세요. (An-nyeong-hi ga-se-yo. ) |
| "Goodbye!" (lit. Go in peace.) |
| 안녕히 계세요. (An-nyeong-hi gye-se-yo. ) |
| "Goodbye!" (lit. Stay in peace.) |
| Let’s take a closer look at each of these expressions. |
| First do you remember how Seul-gi Seong says, |
| "Goodbye." |
| 안녕히 가세요. (An-nyeong-hi ga-se-yo. ) |
| This starts with 안녕히 (an-nyeong-hi), "in peace." 안녕히 (enunciated). 안녕히. |
| Next is 가세요 (ga-se-yo), which means "go." 가세요 (enunciated). 가세요. |
| 가세요 is the honorific form of the verb 가다 (ga-da), meaning "to go." 가다 (ga-da) |
| All together 안녕히 가세요 (An-nyeong-hi ga-se-yo), literally means "go in peace," but it translates as "goodbye." |
| 안녕히 가세요. (An-nyeong-hi ga-se-yo. ) |
| The person staying says this to the person or people leaving. 안녕히 가세요. |
| Here, the barista, who is staying in the shop, says this to Yeon-a, who is leaving the shop. |
| Let’s take a closer look at the response. |
| Do you remember how Yeon-a says, |
| "Goodbye." |
| 안녕히 계세요 (An-nyeong-hi gye-se-yo). |
| This starts with 안녕히 (an-nyeong-hi), "in peace." 안녕히. |
| Next is 계세요 (gye-se-yo), which means "stay," in this case. 계세요 (enunciated). 계세요. |
| 계세요 is the honorific form of the verb 있다 (it-da), meaning "to be." 있다 (it-da) |
| All together 안녕히 계세요 (An-nyeong-hi gye-se-yo), literally means "stay in peace," but it translates as "goodbye." |
| 안녕히 계세요. (An-nyeong-hi gye-se-yo. ) |
| The person leaving says this to the person or people staying. 안녕히 계세요. |
| Here, Yeon-a, who is leaving the shop, says this to the barista, who is staying in the shop. |
| To recap: |
| If you’re staying, you say 안녕히 가세요., "go in peace," to the person or people leaving. |
| If you’re leaving, you say 안녕히 계세요, "stay in peace," to the person or people staying. |
| If both of you are leaving a place, you’ll both say 안녕히 가세요. "Go in peace." 안녕히 가세요. |
| 안녕히 가세요, "Go in peace," and 안녕히 계세요, "Stay in peace," are polite greetings appropriate for almost all situations. You can use them when speaking with people older than you, coworkers, and so forth. |
| At this point in your Korean studies, polite greetings should be your default greetings; however, |
| We sometimes use their more casual versions. |
| Let’s learn them. |
| In casual Korean, 잘 가 (Jal ga), "Bye. (literally, Go well.)," is said by the person staying to the person leaving. 잘 가 (enunciated). 잘 가. |
| 잘 가 (Jal ga) corresponds with 안녕히 가세요 (An-nyeong-hi ga-se-yo), "Go in peace." |
| Note, 잘 가 is casual, while 안녕히 가세요 is polite. In between these two politeness levels is 잘 가요(Jal ga-yo), a polite but somewhat casual way to say goodbye to someone leaving. 잘가요 (enunciated). 잘가요. |
| In casual Korean, 잘 있어 (Jal iss-eo), "Bye. "(literally, Stay well.)," is said by the person leaving to the person staying. 잘 있어 (enunciated). 잘 있어. |
| 잘 있어 corresponds with 안녕히 계세요 (An-nyeong-hi gye-se-yo), "Stay in peace." |
| Note, 잘 있어 is casual, while 안녕히 계세요 is polite. In between these two politeness levels is 잘 있어요(Jal iss-eo-yo), a polite but somewhat casual way to say goodbye to someone staying. 잘 있어요 (enunciated). 잘 있어요. |
| To recap, in casual Korean: |
| If you are staying, you say 잘 가, "Bye. (lit. Go well.), to the person or people going. |
| If you are leaving, you say 잘 있어, "Bye. "(lit. Stay well.)," to the person or people staying. |
| If both of you are leaving, you will both say 잘 가 Literally, "Bye. (lit. Go well.), 잘 가. |
| Let's look at the parting greetings once more. |
| Listen and repeat or speak along with the native speakers. |
| 안녕히 가세요. (An-nyeong-hi ga-se-yo.) |
| "Goodbye!" literally "Go in peace." |
| 안녕히 가세요. (An-nyeong-hi ga-se-yo.) |
| 안녕히 계세요. (An-nyeong-hi gye-se-yo.) |
| "Goodbye!" literally "Stay in peace." |
| 안녕히 계세요. (An-nyeong-hi gye-se-yo.) |
| 잘 가. (Jal ga.) |
| "Bye." literally "Go well." |
| 잘 가. (Jal ga.) |
| 잘 가요. (Jal ga-yo.) |
| "Goodbye." literally "Go well." |
| 잘 가요. (Jal ga-yo.) |
| 잘 있어. (Jal iss-eo.) |
| "Bye." literally "Stay well." |
| 잘 있어. (Jal iss-eo.) |
| 잘 있어요. (Jal iss-eo-yo.) |
| "Goodbye." literally "Stay well." |
| 잘 있어요. (Jal iss-eo-yo.) |
| 안녕! (An-nyeong!) |
| "Bye!" |
| 안녕! (An-nyeong!) |
| Did you notice the last parting greeting that was used? |
| 안녕! (An-nyeong!) |
| 안녕(an-nyeong), which literally means "being well," can be used to mean "Bye." 안녕! (An-nyeong!). 안녕! (An-nyeong!) |
| 안녕 can be used as a parting greeting in casual situations by people of equal social status, like classmates, or people of relative higher social status towards people of lower social status. However, it should not be used the other way around. |
| Note, 안녕 is a versatile greeting that can also be used as a casual greeting meaning, "Hi." 안녕. |
| Let's review. Respond to the prompts by speaking aloud. Then repeat after the native speaker, focusing on pronunciation. |
