Korean vocabulary - theme "Greetings"

40 Korean words for the theme "Greetings" with Hindi meanings, pronunciation and examples. A useful set for beginners and for TOPIK preparation.

This theme gathers the vocabulary for talking about people: family, age, relationships and jobs. It is the base of every introduction in Korean — introducing yourself, introducing someone, describing a relative.

What this theme covers

• Close and extended family: father, mother, brother, sister, uncle, cousin.
• Relationships: friend, companion, neighbour, partner, acquaintance.
• Forms of address and labels: sir, madam, name, surname.
• Age and status: young, older, single, married, divorced.

Words not to mix up

• Do not mix up “brother” and “half-brother” (a brother through one parent only).
• “friend” and “colleague”: a colleague is from work and can be distant.
• “father-in-law” can be a spouse’s father; a mother’s new husband is a “stepfather”.

TOPIK tip

In TOPIK I, naming two family members and giving your age is expected in the speaking task.
