"Hello! Welcome."

Translation: 안녕하세요! 환영합니다.

[emsox]

Objection... How is 안녕하십니까 not a correct translation for "hello"? The difference is only in the formality level.

[hSus18]

Ikr? I mean, the english language doesn't have formalities so you can translate "hello" in formal or 반말.

[Ruby845565]

I know

[slycordinator]

If that was marked as incorrect, then you should report it.

[Lil-yoongx]

finally, something i remembered from watching run bts

[Quinn-ke-ween]

I learned some of it in Dope as well

[Zisagi]

Lol

[9Lup7]

Ikr

[SukumarBor]

same

[Amayra121861]

Yeah baby, Run BTS is the best show ever :D

[YutubPlzSu]

안녕!환영합니다 not accepted

[slycordinator]

Because 안녕 is "hi", not "hello".

[myV4I]

Normally 안녕 is accepted for both but not here tho
I don't quite understand why

[slycordinator]

I would say that 안녕 shouldn't be accepted as "hello". It's a form that is very informal and could come off as rude, which wouldn't happen with something equivalent to "hello".

[Jess76231]

but they need to explain that then, because many other cultures do not consider it rude to say hi instead of hello because they mean the same thing.

[slycordinator]

It may be explained in the "Tips" section that only shows up on the website.

I don't know why they make that part inaccessible from the app

[Roksana96479]

Exactly...English doesnt have honorifics

[Ms.Reed]

I think the issue here is that you wouldn't speak half informal, half formal. So, if you say "안녕", then you wouldn't use formal "합니다" in second part.

[Kaima705606]

Why is 안 녕 not accepted? Its just formalites

[Wani826622]

The welcome indicate it is formal situation

[pixipui]

The two characters need to be together in order to be a full word,

and then yup formalities, duolingo is teaching us standard formal for what I've seen,

Without the 입니다 , 하세요

Thats informal speek you'd use with friends, but it'd be rude if you spoke to a random person that way x

[Skylar991493]

How is "안녕! 환영해요." incorrect? It is the exact same thing, just different formality? This app is so annoying sometimes

[slycordinator]

안녕 is more like "hi" than "hello".

As well, with the formality levels and such, if you greet regular people with 안녕, it'll come off as very rude.

[jolindalea]

I guess you can't use informal here...

[Dolcechik852]

I wish they would indicate of we are supposed to be using informal or formal

[ananya_taekookie]

which 'welcome' is it supposed to mean? The 'welcome to my house' or 'thank you! Welcome.' ??

[slycordinator]

It's the former.

Welcome to our home. = 우리 집에 오신 것을 환영해요/환영합니다.

[yoongislil]

안녕 is not considered or accepted as 'hello'. it's informal and would come off as something very rude. 안녕 is different from 안녕하세요 > because this one is formal or the polite form.

[Jinny272306]

In what context is welcome used here? Does it mean a response to thank you or is it a form of greeting?

[slycordinator]

It's a form of greeting.

"Welcome to our home." = "우리 집에 오신 것을 환영합니다."

[jesussuare763079]

in Korean the exercises are always misspelled

[Zisagi]

Im just point blank confused

[MauricioCa194282]

How is 안녕!환열해요. Is correct. Because its the same only differrnt formality.

[slycordinator]

1) 안녕 doesn't really mean "hello". It's more like "hi".

2) Your first sentence is completely informal/impolite like you use with a kid and then you follow it up with something polite and a bit formal.

3) Also, "환열" is a typo.

[anamallory]

Annyeohaseyo! Hanyeonghabnida

[Sandy337573]

Could you choose any of them and it would still be correct? It looks like thwy are the same, besides formality

[Vin636543]

Isn't Welcome 어서오세요?

[slycordinator]

They both mean welcome, but not in the same way.

어서 means like "quickly", "promptly". 오세요 is the formal imperative form of "오다"; telling a person to come. So, 어서오세요 means "welcome" as in "come on in".

환영하다 means literally to welcome. "welcome to (place)" would use 환영하다.
