When learning to speak Korean, remember to use polite and courteous expressions often. These are an important part of Korean culture.

Top English to korean words

Being polite

Some polite Korean expressions and the translation of these Korean words in English:

“Aniyo” (No)

“Ye” (Yes)

“Chway-seong-ham-ni-da” (I’m sorry)

“Chun-mahn-eh-yo” (You’re welcome)

“Jam-shi-man-yo” (Excuse me)

“Ju-se-yo” (Give me)

“Kam-sa-ham-ni-da” (Thank you)

Asking Basic Questions

The Korean language relies on tone. A Korean speaker will understand that you’re asking a question by the way your tone rises at the end of the sentence, the same way the tone rises at the end of an English-language question.

Basic asking words:

“Uh-dduh-kah” (How?)

“Mwo” (What?)

“Uhn-jae” (When?)

“Uh-dee” (Where?)

“Noo-goo” (Who?)

“Weh” (Why?)

Basic asking phrases:

“Eodi chulsiniseyo?” (Where are you from?)

“Eotteoke jinaeseyo?” (How are you?)

“Igeo mwoyeyo?” (What’s this?)

“Ireumi mwoyeyo?” (What’s your name?)

“Mworago haesseoyo?” (What did you say?)

Words for Actions

As you learn Korean words in English, you’ll want to know lots of verbs. These are a few of the common action words you might need on an average day:

“Dallida” (To run)

“Gada” (To go)

“Ilgda” (To read)

“Jada” (To sleep)

“Juda” (To give)

“Masida” (To drink)

“Meokda” (To eat)

“Nolda” (To play)

“Nureuda” (To press)

“Sseuda” (To write)

Slang Korean Words in English

While you’re learning Korean words in English, you might also want to know some informal or slang words and phrases. Here are a few good phrases for you to practice with your Korean-speaking friends.

“Ah-ssa!” (Yay!)

“Ah-ssa” is a happy expression for when you have something to celebrate. Use it any time you have good luck or things turn out in your favor. A similar phrase is “Dae-bak!”

“Dae-bak!” (Awesome!)

You can use this expression any time you have good luck or something positive happens for you. If your favorite sports team wins or you get good marks on a test, you could say, “Dae-bak!”

“Kol!” (Sure!)

“Kol!” affirms that you’re still doing whatever it is you’re doing. “Staying up late binge-watching your favorite program?” “Kol!”

“Paiting!” (Come on!)

This is a word you can use to encourage someone or egg them on. Say this to your friend to help them keeping going towards a goal.

Colors in Korean

The five colors of the Korean flag are traditional and very symbolic in the Korean language. Black, blue, red, white, and yellow are Korea’s flag colors. Here are the Korean words in English for these and other common colors.

“Bbalgansaek” (Red): Korean culture, like many cultures of the world, associates the color red with fire. It makes up the active, creative, and passionate masculine “yin” element of the yin-yang symbol.

“Borasaek” (Purple)

“Bunhongsaek” (Pink)

“Choroksaek” (Green)

“Galsaek” (Brown)

“Geomjeongsaek” (Black): In Korean culture, the color black is a symbol of the end of a time period. Other associates with this color include winter and death.

“Heuinsaek” (White): At one time, only royalty and nobles were allowed to wear white clothing in Korea. White is also the color Koreans associate with patriotism, peace, and purity.

“Juhwangsaek” (Orange)

“Noransaek” (Yellow): In Korean culture, yellow represents balance. Other associations with yellow include the sun, the center, and beginnings. Yellow for beginnings is a symbol of the start of wisdom or knowledge.

“Paransaek” (Blue): Blue is one of two colors used on the yin-yang symbol on the Korean flag. It represents the cool, feminine yang element.
