In trying to learn the Korean language, I've come across a few differences in Korean translation. Can someone please clarify which Korean text I should be learning from?

1 Answer

Answer :

Gamsa is really informal like if i had a friend the same age as me and we are good friends or to someone younger than me. gamsahabnida is the formal way of saying it. that’s to an elder or someone you just met etc… the in between so to speak is “goh mah woh” but that’s still on the informal side. it’s better than gamsa but still considered informal. best bet: gamsahabnida. you can never go wrong with speaking to someone formally.
