When learning a language, you have to think in that language. ~니다 is the most formal out of the 2. ~ 요 is polite formal and what is most commonly used among koreans
어서 ~ an old way to say hurry up. 오다 ~ to come ~세요 polite ending to ask somone to do something 어서오세요 - please come in quickly. Mostly used among people working in a store.
환영합니다 is welcome to..my country, my city, my home, etc.
Doea anyone have useage context? I always heard 어서 오세요 in Korea. When would 환영합니다 be used?
I've always heard the former used by shopkeepers, so I've mentally translated it as "Please come in". The latter seems to be more of a "Welcome to my place".
Thats correct! I was typing fast and meant to say more formal rather than informal. Corrected, thanks!
환영해요 is less formal. It is still considered formal, but not as formal as 환영합니다.

If anyone is interested, there is this phrase:
X에 오신 것을 환영합니다.
It basically means 'welcome to X'. Ex. 서울에 오신 것을 환영합니다 - welcome to Seoul.
What's the difference between 합, 입, and 습? I've noticed them all in the context of these phrases.
You don't realy pronounce the '와' in '환영합니다'? Is it more like '한영합니다'?
I find this to be a rarely used expression. I hear 어서 오십시오/어서 오세요/어서 와 far more frequently. As far as my experience goes, 환영합니다 is very rare in vernacular. Does anyone else feel this way?
I wish they had an English phoenetic translation. The recording is always to quick
The thing about Korean is that none of the consonants would correctly identify our Roman letter system. Many letters we show almost as a middle ground, like, "ㄱ" would be between "guh" and "kuh" is English.
