? it means peace? and used as hi and bye? wow...so it's like "shalom" in Hebrew... שלום
Oh thats exacly like "Salam" سلام in arabic, and we use it for hi and bye as well!!
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.

Okay, don't hate on me, you guys but~ Shoutout to all the babystays! You guys rock!
This can be used for hello and bye just like Italian ciao and Vietnamese chào (which is not etymologically related).
Bonjour would rather be translated to hello than hi (as it is more formal than salut)
Really? What a curious coincidence.. Those words look pretty similar. :O
It's very similar to Hawaiian's "Aloha," as Annyeong actually means 'Peace.'
probably from context, like you wouldn't walk up to someone on the street and say 'bye, do you want to come to my house?', its like Hawaii's "Aloha" you just put it in context. hope this helped!
both. 안녕 is when you're talking with someone you're closed with or younger ones. 안녕하세요 is formal and mostly used
this can be used for hello and bye just like Hebrew Shalom for hello and also for bye literally means peace
