GRAMMAR
This lesson introduced a few standard greetings that can be used when meeting someone for
the first time. The following are a few notes that go more in-depth into these greetings, as well
as some important grammar points related to the lesson.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Vocabulary Focus #1 - Hello - ?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Korean greeting - ? (annyeonghaseyo?) has the literal meaning of "Are you at
peace?" But this is used as same as "Hello" in English. This can be used during the morning,
day, and evening, and is used for people who are on formal or polite speaking terms.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Vocabulary Focus #2 - It's Nice to Meet You -

(imnida), the formal form of the copula, is typically spelled with a "" which makes a b/
p like sound. But because of the proceeding consonant, "" (n), "" (b) changes to "" (m).
This is a natural phonetic change. These phonetic changes occur when two consonants
meet. Most of these phonetic changes are natural when spoken at natural speed.

CULTURAL INSIGHT
In Korean culture, it is customary for one to bow to another when greeting someone with
? The bow is performed and the spoken greeting stated, simultaneously. Bowing is a
gesture of respect and generally divided into three types: informal, formal, and very formal.
The angle at which one bows increases (increased stooping) as the situation becomes more
formal. A quick greeting with a peer would require a very slight bow. A nod would even suffice
in this kind of informal situation. A formal conversation with strangers, like the one featured in
todays lesson, would require a formal bow (~15 degrees). A meeting with a potential set of
Korean in-laws would most certainly call for very formal bow
