Before we discuss more about phrases, we should know that in Korean language, we have to aware and recognize the person whom we speak, and the situation at the time we speak. When we speak to our friend, or maybe someone younger than us, then we can speak with a polite form but informal, but when we speak to person who is older than us, or have a higher degree than us, like teacher, or our superior then we have to speak using formal polite form. In the formal meeting, we also have to speak in formal polite form.
Here are some basic phrases in Korean language.
