TTMIK Level 1 Lesson 2 Flashcards
네
Yes.
아니요.
No
What is it?
hen people say “네”, it is not the same as saying “Yes.” in English. The same goes for “아니요”
too. This is because the Korean “네” expresses your “agreement” to what the other person said. And “아니요”
expresses your “disagreement” or “denial” to what the other person said. For example,
someone asks you “You don’t like coffee?” (커피 안 좋아해요? [keo-pi an jo-a-hae-yo?] in Korean) and if your
answer is “No, I don’t like coffee.” you have to say “네.”
네
That’s right. / I agree. / Sounds good. / What you said is correct.
아니요
That’s not right. / I don’t agree. / What you said is not correct.
