Day 4: Meal & Work Rituals
Why Do Koreans Ask 밥 먹었어? (Did You Eat?)
밥 먹었어? (bap meogeosseo) literally means 'did you eat?' — but it's really a Korean greeting meaning 'how are you?'
What Does 잘 먹겠습니다 (Jal Meokgetseumnida) Mean?
잘 먹겠습니다 (jal meokgetseumnida) literally means 'I will eat well' — when to say it, and its after-meal partner 잘 먹었습니다.
What Does 수고했어 (Sugohaesseo) Mean in Korean?
Sugohaesseo (수고했어) means 'you worked hard / good job' in Korean. The polite 수고하셨습니다 and 수고하세요, and why English can't quite translate it.
