During the am hours the sun is starting to shine. The sun's rays are beginning to penetrate past the clouds. The scent of a newly cooked cereal and coffee beans filled every house. A person can often hear birds chirping outside the house. In a typical lovely day, almost all people all around the globe welcome one another by simply saying "Good morning!"
In Korea, good morning is simply "Joh-eun ahchim-ipnida," a term that has lately arrived onto its lands. Customarily, they greet their family, friends and acquaintances by saying, "Annyeonghaseyo," which is translated as "Hello." This particular switch toward the increased use of this expression could be attributed with the huge stream of foreign movies, television series, and dramas that have found their way to the culture of Korean people. At places of leisure, at workplaces, and especially in business institutions, the expression, "Joh-eun ahchim-ipnida," is already being used. Friends and colleagues frequently use it among themselves.
There are a number of some other relevant phrases and expressions that a person may use besides the famous "Joh-eun ahchim-ipnida" or even "Joh-eun ahchim," which is used to utter, "a good morning." For instance, a person can point out "Sangqwehan ahchim," in order to signify that it is a fresh morning and the start of a different day. If someone wished to utter enthusiasm for the new day he can readily declare the Korean words for "a joyful day," which is actually "Jeulguhwoon haru." Keep in mind that the words "Joh-eun ahchim-ipnida" are used to greet somebody and tell them "Good morning" and the particular person should be a colleague or friend. To inform a good friend that you want "a coffee in the morning" you might say "ahchim-eh coffee." Certain people like a newly brewed cup to start the day. Moreover, the Korean phrase "Iee-reun ahchim" can be utilized to mean that it is "early in the morning."
During the early morning you may also wish a person to have a good day ahead by saying, "Jeulguhwoon jaru dweseyo," which is used to tell somebody "Have a nice day!" rather than just saying "Joh-eun Ahchim (a good morning)." Furthermore, to ask a person where she or he is going this early morning, the words "Ieereun ahchim-eh uhdi-eh gaseyo?" can be used. Finally, when somebody is asked what he or she often drinks early in the morning, an ideal response could be "Na-neun jongjong ahchim-eh coffee-reul mashinda" which translates to "I often drink coffee in the morning."
While the morning passes and gives way to the afternoon, you can begin applying words ideal for that time of day. Always remember that in standard Korean, there's no equivalent way of expressing good afternoon in Korean. Rather, Koreans utilize the word "annyeonghaseyo" that is a formal way of saying "hello." Furthermore, the term "annyeong" which means "hi" is often used whenever greeting good friends and loved ones.
Keep in mind that traditionally, "hello" which is interpreted as "annyeonghaseyo" was utilized regardless of whether it's morning or later in the day.
