Here I’ll keep track of the resources I use for my studies in case anyone is interested in using them for themselves!

“I’m sorry” in Korean!

죄송합니다만 [joe-song-ham-ni-da] - I am sorry/I apologize

The phrase is made up of two segments: 죄송 (apology, shamefulness, being sorry) and 합니다 (I do) to make up “I’m sorry.” But this doesn’t mean it can be used the same way it is in English!

죄송합니다 can only be used when you want to apologize for something, not when you want to say “I’m sorry to hear that.”

“Goodbye” in Korean!

존댓말 [jon-daet-mal] - Goodbye (formal/polite)

안녕히 계세요 [an-nyeong-hi ge-se-yo] - Goodbye (when you are leaving)

Literal translation: “Stay in peace”

안녕히 가세요 [an-nyeong-hi ga-se-yo] - Goodbye (when you are staying/the person you are addressing is leaving)

Literal translation: “Go in peace”
