[How to Pronounce Hello in Korean]49

Hello, the most common way to greet someone in Korean is "안녕하세요" (annyeong haseyo). It is pronounced as "an-nyong-hah-say-yoh." When you see "ㅇ" at the beginning of a syllable, it does not make any sound. So, "안녕하세요" is pronounced as "annyeong haseyo" and not "ongannyeong haseyo." Koreans have a hard time pronouncing the "L" sound, so they replace it with a "R" sound. So, when you say "hello" in Korean, you are actually saying "annyeong haseyo" and not "annyong laseyo."

Annyeong haseyo is respectful language and should be used when speaking to someone who is older than you or someone you do not know well. You can also use "안녕하세요" to say goodbye. To make it more casual, you can drop the "yo" sound at the end of "안녕하세요" and just say "안녕하세요" (annyeong haseyo). This is more common in everyday conversation and can be used with friends, family, and people you are familiar with.

There are also a few other ways to say hello in Korean. "잘 지내세요?" (jal jineseoyo?) means "How are you?" and is a more casual way to greet someone. It is pronounced as "jal ji-nay-say-yoh." You can also say "반갑습니다" (ban gap seum ni da) which means "Nice to meet you." It is pronounced as "ban-gap-seum-ni-da."
