UNIT 1 안녕하세요?<br />

Introducing Yourself<br />

After greeting somebody for the first time, you can say:<br />

만나서 반갑습니다. It’s nice to meet you.<br />

Man-na-seo ban-gap-seum-ni-da.<br />

OR<br />

처음 뵙겠습니다. I’m pleas<strong>ed</strong> to meet you.<br />

Cheo-eum boep-get-seum-ni-da.<br />

And then introduce yourself:<br />

Robert 입니다. (I) am Robert.<br />

Robert-im-ni-da.<br />

Robert 라고 합니다. (I) am Robert. (Lit. I am call<strong>ed</strong> ‘Robert’.)<br />

Robert-ra-go ham--ni-da.<br />

You may have notic<strong>ed</strong> that the pronoun ‘I’ is omitt<strong>ed</strong>, as is normally the<br />

case in Korean sentences where the subject is obvious.<br />

When referring to the person you are addressing, the Korean pronoun for<br />

‘you’ is almost never us<strong>ed</strong>:<br />

Robert 니? Are (you) Robert?<br />

Robert-ni? (Casual)<br />
