How do you spell hello in Korea?

"Hello" in Korean can be spelled in a few different ways depending on the context and formality:

Formal:

* 안녕하세요 (annyeonghaseyo) - This is the most common and polite way to say hello. It's used when speaking to someone older than you, someone you don't know well, or in a formal setting.

Informal:

* 안녕 (annyeong) - This is a more casual way to say hello, used among friends or family, or with people you are close to.

* 어서 와 (eoseo wa) - This literally means "come in," and it's used to welcome someone into your home or a specific place.

* 잘 지냈어? (jal jinaesseo?) - This literally means "did you do well?", and it's a more informal way to greet someone you haven't seen in a while.

Note: In Korean, the word for "hello" is actually "안녕" (annyeong), but when used in a polite way, it becomes "안녕하세요" (annyeonghaseyo).
