    My husband once joked, “I hear you in these sessions with your tutor with your headphones on, and you say you’ve been learning Korean but it sounds like you’ve just been learning to say ‘knee’ a lot.” ㅋㅋㅋ

    This is great. It brings back memories of my time teaching in Korea. Listening to Koreans speaking on the phone continuously saying "네". And at the end of the call, they would always say "알겠습니다", followed again by "네, 네" and quickly hanging up the phone. I always felt that by the tone, it sounded like they were signaling that they were done talking, and politely escaping.

    Oh thank goodness I’m a native Japanese speaker because the use of 네 is pretty much the same. Phone calls in Japan sound like “Hai… hai hai…Hai?? Ahh hai.” 😂

    This summer, I work as a nannie for a Korean family. And I remember that I hear a lot of the time at the grandma talking on the phone on speaker and she keep saying 응 even when the other person was taking so yes this confirm the idea that I was creating when that happens

    As a mandarin chinese learner before korean, i tend to not say 네 or 아니요 even when answering a yes no question in korean. this is like straight from chinese where we just repeat the verb because theres no perfect translation for yes /no in mandarin. So when people ask me , do you like..? Did you eat/sleep well/did you go? im like 촣아해요. 먹어요. 잘잤어요. 안갔어요. Oops

    When I go to Hmart and tell the cashier 감사합니다, they usually respond with 네. As a native English speaker this feels weird. I have been told that 아니에요 is "your welcome". Are these both good responses to 감사합니다?

      This is very similar to when a Korean friend of mine came to the USA for the first time. She had always learned in school to reply to "thank you" with "you're welcome". But she was very surprised when she said "thank you", and the native speaker simply replied "sure" or "no problem". I think it's the same kind of thing.

    I'm a south indian and in our language we use yes often like that. No wonder I wasn't much surprised when I learned about it.

    I can relate.
    Don't know if it's still true, but way back when my wife watched Korean newscasts, the co-anchor constantly used 네 while the anchor spoke.
    These days, when she speaks to her sister on the phone, many of her responses are 어, 아, 그럼 and so forth.

    Pretty similar to how it's done in Swedish. For online conversations I like to default to 그래 or 맞아요.

    Surprisingly we use the German word for „yes“, which is „ja“, the same way Koreans use „네“

    • @Datmoor
      @Datmoor 15 днів тому +2

      Had the same thought. When I'm listening to someone in a meeting I'm also usually saying: "ja.... hm... okay... ja..." from time to time to confirm I'm still listening. Just our German "jaja" is not the same as the Korean "네네" ㅋㅋㅋ

    Question 🙋‍♀️:
    It seems when reading translations that Koreans answers yes to negative statements, unlike in English.
    Example:
    Q: Don’t you like spicy food?
    A: yes, I don’t like spicy food.
    Am I wrong?

    • @GoBillyKorean
      @GoBillyKorean  16 днів тому +1

      That's because "yes" in Korean can mean "yes, that's right."

      In France they have adopted the word ‘si’ to mean ‘no, that’s not right, I DO like spicy food’.
      Are there any other forms of yes and no in Korean? (Not just formal and informal)
