How to Say Hello in Korean — Beyond Just “Annyeonghaseyo”

In Korean, just like in English (how are you?) or Spanish (¿cómo estás?), greetings change depending on the situation.
If you only say annyeong-ha-se-yo, you might sound a bit textbook.

[Gina (Gina_thekoreanteacher) @ginateacherkr]

✅ And the most “Korean-native” touch: greeting someone by asking if they’ve eaten → 밥 먹었어? (bap meo-geo-sseo?) / 식사하셨어요? (shik-sa ha-syeo-sseo-yo?)
