인사 예절(Greeting manners)

 Here's the explanation with appropriate Korean greetings

  1. Bowing to Someone of Higher Status or Older Age:
    안녕하십니까[an-nyeong-ha-shim-ni-kka]
    This formal greeting is typically used towards someone of higher status or older age, often accompanied by a bow.
    It is the respectful version of "hello."
  2. Handshaking Upon First Meeting
    처음 뵙겠습니다[cho-eum bweb-get-seum-ni-da]
    This phrase means "Pleased to meet you" and is used when shaking hands with someone for the first time, showing politeness and a welcoming attitude.
  3. Bowing to Acquaintances in the Workplace
    안녕하세요[an-nyeong-ha-se-yo]
    A standard and polite greeting among acquaintances, equivalent to "hello" or "hi." It's less formal than 안녕하십니까 but still shows respect, often used with a slight bow in the workplace.
  4. Waving to Friends or Younger Individuals
    안녕[an-nyeong]
    This informal way of saying "hi" or "hello" is used among peers, friends, or younger people, usually accompanied by a wave instead of a bow.
In each situation, the greeting reflects the formality required by the relationship between the people involved.
The greetings can be adjusted depending on the time of day as well, such as using "안녕히 계세요 (annyeonghi gyeseyo)" when leaving. Still, the other person is staying, or "안녕히 가세요 (annyeonghi gaseyo)" when the other person is going.

한글 자음, 모음 창제원리 및 발음, 음절이해 통합(Integration of Hangul consonant and vowel creation principles, pronunciation, and syllable understanding)

  ■ 한글창제의 원리_자음 창제의 원리      (Principles of Hangul Creation_Principles of Consonant Creation) T he Korean alphabet, Hangul, was developed with a unique principle that relates the shapes of its consonants to the parts of the mouth used to pronounce them. Here's a detailed explanation in English to help foreigners learn and appreciate the ingenious design behind Hangul: The consonants in Hangul were initially created to mimic  the shape of the mouth and tongue when making their sounds.  This makes Hangul highly phonetic and easy to learn. For instance: 'ㄱ' is shaped like the tongue blocking the throat, where the sound originates – this sound is known as "Guttural". 'ㄴ' resembles the tongue touching the roof of the mouth, thus called a "Lingual" sound. 'ㅁ' takes the shape of the lips and is called a "Labial" sound. 'ㅅ' looks like the teeth and produces a sound known as "Dental". 'ㅇ' represents the shape of

나이와 연세의 차이(The difference between age and years)

Image
  In Korean culture, the concepts of "age" (나이, "nai") and "years" (연세, "response") are distinct, and understanding this difference is crucial, especially in the context of social interactions and showing respect. 1. Age (나이, "Nai"): The term "나이" refers to the actual age of a person. It's a straightforward count of the number of years since birth. In Korea, age is calculated differently compared to Western cultures. When babies are born, they are considered one year old, and everyone gets a year older on New Year's Day, not their birthday. This is known as the Korean age system. Asking someone’s "나이" is common in Korean social interactions to determine the formality required in speech and behavior. The Korean language has different levels of formality depending on the relative age of the people in the conversation. Example: "나이가 어떻게 되세요?" ("What is your age?") 2. Years (연세, "Yeonse&q
