Basic Korean Lesson: Goodbye
There are a few ways that you can say goodbye.
The formal version is 안녕히 가세요 and 안녕히 계세요
The ending varies based on whether the other person is going or staying. The characters in bold are the syllables that change.
If you are staying and the other person is leaving you would say 안녕히 가세요. (ahn-young-he-ga-say-yo). You can use this one is both of you are leaving also.
안녕히 가세요=go in peace
If you are leaving and the other person is staying you would say 안녕히 계세요 (ahn-young-he-gye-say-yo)
안녕히 계세요=stay in peace
-----------------------------------
A less informal way would be 안녕 (ahn young). You should only use this with your friends or those who are younger than you. This is also the informal way of saying hello.
