This can be used for hello and bye just like Italian ciao and Vietnamese chào (which is not etymologically related).
Really? What a curious coincidence.. Those words look pretty similar. :O
? it means peace? and used as hi and bye? wow...so it's like "shalom" in Hebrew... שלום
So I'm guessing that this is the casual way to say hi and that annyeonghaseyo is the formal way?
Annyeong is less formal, so never use it when first meeting someone or speaking to someone older than you. If the person you are speaking to is younger than you and you have.met them before, then you can say annyeong.
안녕 is informal, only use it with people you're close to or children. 안녕하세요 is what you would use in most everyday situations, informal but still polite. 안녕하십니까 is for formal occasions, when you're speaking to an elder, addressing a customer or your CEO in a business situation, or your professor at university, very respectful and formal.
Hi what is your name I am from New York City where are you from please OK bye
Okay, don't hate on me, you guys but~ Shoutout to all the babystays! You guys rock!
So "yo" is not accepted ? Annyeong is the most casual way of saying hello, yo is also a casual way of saying hello
The "cutesy way" of speaking korean is already informal (ex. you wouldn't call someone "oppa" in a professional environment bc ew) so it uses other informal words too
