Anyeong: Korean 'Hi'


Korean language has both formal and informal co-notations and people highly observe the slight of tune and formalities. For instance, with elders if someone want to say high then he/she need to say '안녕하세요: Annyeonghaseyo'. But for youngster or same age fellow we use '안녕: Annyeong'. Similarly for bye: formal (안녕히 가세요: Annyeonghi Gaseyo) and informal (안녕히 가세요: Gaseyo).
