GRAMMAR
As
Korean
is
a
language
that
has
a
strong
emphasis
on
politeness
levels,
there
can
be
several
different
ways
one
can
say
something.
As
this
is
the
case,
this
conversation
focuses
on
the
usage
of
three
different
ways
to
say
"Thank
you."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Grammar
Point
#1
-
Thank
You
-
감사합니다




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
감사합니다
(gamsahamnida)
is
a
polite
way
to
say
"Thank
you".
This
"Thank
you"
should
be
used
towards
strangers,
acquaintances,
people
of
higher
social
ranking,
elderly
family
members,
teachers,
and
people
who
are
generally
of
higher
social
ranking
(Confucian
hierarchy).
In
general,
this
is
the
most
polite
form
of
the
phrase
"Thank
you".
If
ever
in
a
formal
situation,
this
would
be
the
"Thank
you"
to
use
(i.e.
with
an
important
person,
future
in-laws,
an
employer,
an
interview).
감사합니다
(gamsahamnida)
is
actually
the
verb
감사하다
(gamsahada)
-
to
be
thankful
-
conjugated
into
the
formal
politeness
level.

Grammar
Point
#2
-
Thank
you
-
고맙습니다




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
고맙습니다
(gomapseumnida)
is
another
polite
way
to
say
"Thank
you".
This
phrase
is
a
bit
less
formal
than
the
former
감사합니다
(gamsahamnida).
The
difference
between
the
two
"Thank
you"
phrases
is
minor.
고맙습니다
(gomapseumnida)
is
a
bit
more
friendly,
and
a
bit
more
casual.
But
this
can
be
used
in
most
situations
where
감사합니다
(gamsahamnida)
can
be
used.
This
phrase
can
be
used
in
formal
situations
as
well,
but
formal
situations
would
usually
call
for
the
highest
level
of
politeness
(using
감사합
니다
-
gamsahamnida).
고맙습니다
(gomapseumnida)
is
actually
the
verb
고맙다
(gomapda)
-
to
be
thankful
-
conjugated
in
the
formal
politeness
level.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Grammar
Point
#3
-
Thanks
-
고마워




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
고마워
(gomawo)
is
the
casual
form
of
the
phrase
"Thank
you."
This
can
easily
be
translated
as
"Thanks"
in
English.
This
phrase
should
only
be
used
with
close
friends
and
people
of
intimate
relationships.
고마워
(gomawo)
can
be
used
with
close
friends,
close
family
members,
classmates,
people
of
the
same,
or
younger
age,
and
in
many
other
cases
where
the
intimate
politeness
level
can
be
used.
This
is
actually
the
verb
고맙다
(gomapda)
-
to
be
thankful
-
conjugated
into
the
intimate
politeness
level.
The
frequency
of
which
these
three
phrases
are
heard
is
almost
equal.
Whenever
in
doubt
as
to
which
"Thank
you"
to
use,
use
the
most
polite
form
-
감사합니다
(gamsahamnida).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Grammar
Point
#4
-
It's
Nothing
-
아니에요




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Korean
culture
typically
deflects
praise.
Saying
"you're
welcome"
can
convey
to
listener
that
speaker
is
acknowledging
their
good
deed.
So
to
deflect
"Thank
you,"
Koreans
typically
say
아니에요
(anieyo),
which
can
be
translated
into
"not
at
all".
Literally
아니에요
(anieyo)
means
"it's
not".
아니에요
(anieyo)
is
the
verb
아니다
(anida)
conjugated
into
the
standard
politeness
level.
The
following
are
the
formal,
and
intimate
politeness
levels
of
아니다
(anida)
-
the
verb
"to
not
be."
---------------------------

♣
More
Examples
♣


---------------------------


아닙니다
-
animnida
-
Formal
politeness
level

아니야
-
aniya
-
Intimate
politeness
level

These
two
can
also
be
used
to
reply
as
"You're
welcome/Not
at
all/No
problem."
CULTURAL
INSIGHT
To
add
extra
emphasis
to
your
gratitude
you
can
add
a
short,
quick
bow
along
with
감사합니다
(gamsahamnida)
and
고맙습니다
(gomapseumnida).
With
고마워
(gomawo),
the
most
casual
of
the
"Thank
You"
phrases,
a
bow
would
most
likely
be
unnecessary.
Bows
are
reserved
for
people
who
you
wish
to
respect
and
honor,
and
thus,
any
situation
where
the
intimate
politeness
level
of
Thank
You
is
used,
a
respectful
bow
would
be
unfitting.
