That's interesting how in many different languages greeting is usually some kind of wishing another person health or luck. In Russian, for example, it's "здравствуйте", which literally means "be healthy"
I like the meaning behind "밥은?" Reminds me that it wasn't so long ago that there were hard times and we're not exactly in the best position again, so.... did you eat rice? 😊
Where does it come from? It comes from the Chinese language. It is a Sino-Korean word. The hanja is 安寧 which literally means peaceful. So it is like saying "Peace unto you''.
the first korean word i learned was “가미”. i had a korean friend in 4th grade, that was the first and only word she taught me, along with how to read the alphabet. it means ant, im pretty sure.

Interesting to know the origin of the words we are learning. It's a beautiful and caring phrase used casually these days!🌸
Actually my first Korean word many years ago was 바보

I just came here for this comment 😀
This makes learning easier when you know the meaning behind it

And now i directly remember the phrase 안녕히 가세요.
I love learning the origins of Korean words! It helps to understand them, and other words as a whole, as well as the Korean culture, better.
The first thing I learned in Korean was 사랑해요
I was literally asking myself what it meant yesterday or so. 감사합니다!
I hope everyone at TTMIK is well and settled.
So that's why there is oftenly a question mark after 안녕하세요?

어원 좋다
Peace be among you.
Ah... so that's why it has a question mark 안녕하세요 ? It is a question, not a statement. Thanks for the explanation. 설명해줘서 감사합니다.
That's also why you hear people respond with 네~ or 네 안녕하세요? "Yes, I'm doing well" or 'Yes, I am at peace." And you?
