Greetings, hello, good morning, hi, etc

Korea has only one greeting, "anyeong hasaeyo," which can mean hello, good morning, good afternoon, hi, and so on. It is also said when one is asking "how are you?" and when replying with "I'm good!"

On the flip side, Korea has two ways of saying good-bye: one is said when you're staying, and the other is said when you're leaving. The literal translation is either, "bye, I'm staying," or "bye, I'm leaving."
