- Lucas: Hey Luna, welcome back to Learn Korean with Fexingo. Luna: Hey Lucas! Yeah, it's good to be here again. Lucas: So last time, we did that bakery morning story with greetings and how-are-yous. Luna: Right, like 안녕하세요 and 어떻게 지내? and all that. Lucas: Exactly. And today, we're going to learn how to wrap things up. Luna: Oh, like saying goodbye? Lucas: Yeah. Just two tiny phrases. The most common ways to say goodbye in Korean. Luna: Okay, I'm ready. Lucas: First one: 안녕히 가세요. Luna: Wait, hold on. 안녕히 가세요? Lucas: Yeah. It means 'goodbye' or literally 'go in peace.' You say it when the other person is leaving. Luna: Oh, so like if I'm staying and my friend is going home? Lucas: Exactly. Let's break it down. 안녕히 가세요. Luna: 안녕히 가세요. Lucas: Good. Now a bit faster: 안녕히 가세요. Luna: 안녕히 가세요. Lucas: Perfect. That's your general 'bye.' Luna: Okay, got it. What's the second one? Lucas: The second one is 다음에 봐요. Luna: 다음에 봐요. Lucas: Right. It means 'see you later' or 'see you next time.' Luna: Oh, that's cute. 다음에 봐요. Lucas: Yeah. Let's say it slowly: 다음에 봐요. Luna: 다음에 봐요. Lucas: Now normally: 다음에 봐요. Luna: 다음에 봐요. Lucas: There you go. So you have 안녕히 가세요 for 'goodbye' and 다음에 봐요 for 'see you later.' Luna: Okay, let me try them together. 안녕히 가세요, 다음에 봐요. Lucas: Yeah yeah yeah. That's it. Luna: So when do I use which? Lucas: Good question. 안녕히 가세요 is more formal and general—like when someone's leaving a store or ending a call. 다음에 봐요 is casual, for friends, when you expect to see them again. Luna: Oh, so if I'm texting a friend after watching a show together? Lucas: Totally. You'd say 다음에 봐요. Luna: And if I'm at a café and the barista says thanks? Lucas: You could say 안녕히 가세요 as you leave. Luna: Okay, that makes sense. Let's do a tiny scene. Lucas: Sure. Imagine we're friends hanging out, and I have to go catch my bus. Luna: Oh, right now? Lucas: Yeah, sorry. But it was fun! Luna: Okay, well... 안녕히 가세요. Lucas: Ooh, almost. Since I'm leaving, you should say 안녕히 가세요. Luna: Right, 안녕히 가세요. Lucas: Perfect. And I'll say 다음에 봐요! Luna: 다음에 봐요! Lucas: See? That's how it works. Luna: That's so good. I love that. Lucas: Let's practice a bit more. Repeat after me: 안녕히 가세요. Luna: 안녕히 가세요. Lucas: 다음에 봐요. Luna: 다음에 봐요. Lucas: Again: 안녕히 가세요. Luna: 안녕히 가세요. Lucas: 다음에 봐요. Luna: 다음에 봐요. Lucas: You're nailing it. Luna: Thanks! Okay, quick quiz for me. Lucas: Go for it. Luna: If I'm leaving a Zoom call with a coworker, what do I say? Lucas: Hmm... probably 안녕히 가세요, since it's a bit formal. Luna: Right. And if I'm saying bye to my friend after coffee? Lucas: 다음에 봐요 works great there. Luna: Okay, I think I've got these. Lucas: Let's do one more recap. 안녕히 가세요. Luna: 안녕히 가세요. Lucas: 다음에 봐요. Luna: 다음에 봐요. Lucas: And together? Luna: 안녕히 가세요, 다음에 봐요. Lucas: Absolutely. That's it for today. Luna: Already? That went fast. Lucas: Yeah, just two phrases, but they're super useful. Practice these till we chat again. Luna: For sure. Thanks, Lucas. Lucas: Thank you for learning with Fexingo. 다음에 봐요! Luna: 다음에 봐요!
