Welcome to lesson 3 ^^ This project will be explaining how to introduce yourself as well as ask and answer age in Korean.
PT 1 - Nice to meet you 반갑습니다 - Nice to meet you (polite) 반가워요. - Nice to meet you (casual) PT 2 - Asking Names 성함이 어떻게 되세요? - What’s Your Name? (Formal) 성함이 어떻게 되십니까? - What’s Your Name? (Formal-er) 이름이 뭐예요? - What’s Your Name? (Ppl equal to you or below you) __________ 입니다. I am __________. This is very standard, yet formal and polite. Nothing bad can happen if you are polite. __________ (이) 라고 합니다. I am called __________. This is used if your name and what you are called are different. If you are “Joseph” but everyone calls you “Joe” this is the phrase you use. If the Korean version of your name ends with a 받침 then use the 이 in the parenthesis. 제 이름은 __________ 입니다. My name is __________. This is the polite way to tell someone your name if you haven’t been asked. PT 3 - Asking Age 나이가 어떻게 되세요? How old are you? This literally means “What does your age become?” and is polite. 몇 살이에요? How old are you? This is polite, but is much closer to casual than formal. It can be asked to children. __________ 입니다. I am __________ years old. This is the polite way to say how old you are, either way you are asked your age.
