As mentioned in the video above, the Korean word used to mean “it is not” is 아니에요 (anieyo). 아니다 (anida) means “not.” This word changes to 아니에요 (anieyo) or 아닙니다(animnida) when speaking formally. It changes to 아니야 (aniya) when speaking informally.
아닙니다 (animnida)
This expression translates to “no” in formal Korean. Korean's usual spoken response to “thank you” is “no.” If you are speaking in a formal setting such as a job interview, then you may wish to use this higher level of formality and say 아닙니다 (animnida) instead of 아니에요 (anieyo).
No - 아니요 [aniyo]
Whether it's to show disagreement or to answer a question, another extremely important expression to know is 'no' which in Korean is 아니요 [aniyo].
The 합니다 (hamnida) part means “to do.” Put them together, and you get 감사합니다 (gamsahamnida | to do thanks). You can use this phrase to express “thank you” in Korean restaurants, convenience stores, or taxis.
In other words, aniyo (아니요) means “no” while anieyo (아니에요) means “it is not.” To illustrate the difference let's take a look at an example: A: 그것은 맥주예요? (geugeos-eun maekjuyeyo) – Is that a beer?
Challenge #2: Replacing V with B, and F with P
Korean doesn't have V and F sounds so they tend to replace them with B and P that exist in Korean. For example, a word like 'vet' might be pronounced as 'bet', and a word like 'fine' might be pronounced as 'pine'.
The most common word you'll hear and see written in Korean that means “no” is 아니요 (a-ni-yo). You can say 아니요 any time you're disagreeing with somebody. You can usually use it the same way you'd use the word “no” in English (although we'll go over one situation when you can't, later).
입니다 (Imnida) is the word meaning “to be” so unlike English, you have to put your name in the middle of the sentence. So for example, my name is Jaehwi, so I can say - 제 이름은 Jae 입니다. (Je ireumeun Jaehwi imnida.) "My name is Jaehwi."
涙 なみだ • (namida) tear, teardrop.
The polite expression is made by changing 축하하다 to 축하해요, and we use 생일 instead of 생신. This expression is the most commonly used way of saying 'happy birthday' in Korean. A more formal form of this expression is 생일 축하합니다. 생일 축하합니다 (sengil chuka-hamnida)
진짜 • (jinjja) really; actually.
Etymology. Borrowed from Korean 오빠 (oppa, “elder brother or close elder male friend (of a female)”).
Specifically, 좋아합니다 (joahamnida), 좋아요( joayo), or 좋아해요 (joahaeyo) can be used to say “I like it” in Korean. These phrases can be used to express liking an object or a person.
