Survival

안녕 vs 안녕하세요

Die Extra-Silben sind kein Theater. Sie markieren den Raum.

Die Erklärung ist Englisch. Koreanische Zeilen und Sinn folgen deiner Sprache.

안녕하세요 is the default with anyone you do not drink with yet: staff, landlords, your boss, a stranger on the phone.

안녕 is for kids, close friends, and people who already switched to 반말. Using it on a clerk is not 'casual cool'. It is rank-blind.

안녕히 가세요 (they stay, you leave) vs 안녕히 계세요 (you stay, they leave). Get this wrong and you still survive. Get 안녕 wrong and the air changes.
