### Formal vs Casual {#formal}
|
|
|
|
There are two ways of communicating in Korean
|
|
|
|
존댓말 - formal one. More polite, good `default` mode.
|
|
반말 - informal one - to be used with friends
|
|
|
|
Usually the difference is adding -요 to the end. Also, if there are many ways of saying/writing something, the longer one is more polite one.
|
|
|
|
### What {#what}
|
|
|
|
###### What + verb -> 뭐 + verb
|
|
example: 뭐 했어요? -> What did you do?
|
|
|
|
###### What + noun = what kind of -> 무슨 + noun
|
|
example: 무슨 책 좋아해요? - what kind of books do you like?
|
|
|
|

year = 년

|
|
|
date format: SK + 년 + SK + 월 + SK + 일
|
|
|
|
### Counting {#counting}
