Amazing question T!!!
I think it's important for Korean learners to understand the context behind the language so to provide some context... we speak differently towards people who are older/strangers/in professional settings - than we would to people who are older/strangers in casual settings!
- μ
λλ€ (imbnida) would be used in professional settings or to speak to strangers/elders
- μ΄μμ/μμ - is STILL quite formal but it's used in more casual conversation (to olders/strangers etc.)
For example, if you're introducing yourself at work you would say:
- μλ
νμΈμ! μ λ nameλΌκ³ ν©λλ€ or nameμ
λλ€!
(an-nyeong-ha-sae-yo! jeo-neun ____ra-go ham-ni-da)
BUTT if you're introducing yourself in a more casual context you would say:
- μλ
νμΈμ! μ λ nameμ΄μμ! or nameμμ!
(an-nyeong-ha-sae-yo ! jeo-neun _____e-ye-yo!)
This is the kind of context that we aim to give you all with our lessons on Teuida!! You can try different situations and scenarios + use both the phrases
