Instead of just \u201c\uc548\ub155\ud558\uc138\uc694\u201d (Annyeonghaseyo \u2013 Hello), you might use \u201c\uc624\ub79c\ub9cc\uc774\uc5d0\uc694\u201d (Oraenmanieyo \u2013 Long time no see) when you meet someone you haven\u2019t seen in a while. Another useful phrase is \u201c\uc694\uc998 \uc5b4\ub5bb\uac8c \uc9c0\ub0b4\uc138\uc694?\u201d (Yojum eotteoke jinaeseyo? \u2013 How have you been lately?), which shows a deeper interest in the person\u2019s life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When giving an opinion, a phrase like \u201c\uc81c \uc0dd\uac01\uc5d0\ub294 \uadf8\uac83\uc774 \ub354 \ub098\uc744 \uac83 \uac19\uc544\uc694\u201d (Je saenggage-neun geugeosi deo naeul geot gatayo \u2013 In my opinion, that might be better) can be useful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
