Podcast Notes:
A BASIC Korean self-introduction (which can either be called an ์ธ์ฌ or ์๊ธฐ์๊ฐ which literally means self ์๊ธฐ introduction - ์๊ฐ. So, You'll often hear parents tell their children (์ธ์ฌํด) meaning "to give a greeting / introduction."
Typically, your ์ธ์ฌ will be made up of 3 parts.
First, your greeting. Simply put, it's your "Hello." In Korean, the word for Hello is: annyeong-ha-say-yo (์๋
ํ์ธ์)
*While saying hello, you'll also want to give a slight head nod and bow. This is super important as it shows respect to whomever you're addressing and gives you the vibe of being approachable.
The next step in your ์ธ์ฌ is: Your name! You'll want to let people know your name and how they should address you. There are a few ways to do this.
To say "My name is _______." You'd say (์ ๋ ______ ์
๋๋ค.) (Jeo-neun _____ I'm-ni-da)
For example, My name is Jo would be ์ ๋ Jo ์
๋๋ค.
2. Alternately, you can say the literal translation of "my name is" which is: ์ ์ด๋ฆ์ ______ ์ ๋๋ค. ์ meaning "MY" ์ด๋ฆ meaning "NAME" and "์ ๋๋ค" meaning "to be" For example, My name is Jo would be ์ ์ด๋ฆ์ Jo ์ ๋๋ค.
3. Another way to introduce yourself is to say "I am called ____" To say this, you'd say : ์ ๋ ______ (์ด) ๋ผ๊ณ ํฉ๋๋ค / ํด์. This structure is a little different because how you say it depends on the last letter of your name. If it ends with a consonant, you'd use the ending ์ด๋ผ๊ณ ํด์. Whereas, if your name ends in a vowel, you'd simply add ๋ผ๊ณ ํฉ๋๋ค / ํด์ to your name.
Out of the three ways I've shown you to say your name, the first one (์ ๋ _____ ์ ๋๋ค.) Is probably the most colloquial with self introductions.
Lastly, you want to say... "Nice to meet you."
The most basic way to say this is: ๋ง๋์ ๋ฐ๊ฐ์ต๋๋ค.
The literal meaning of this is : ๋ง๋์ comes from the verb ๋ง๋๋ค meaning "to meet" So, in this case ๋ง๋์ means (because we're meeting/ because I've met you.) ๋ฐ๊ฐ์ต๋๋ค (I am grateful.)
This is a formal way to say "Nice to meet you." However, if you're in a more casual situation, (such as at school or around people who are similar to your age) You can use the casual polite term: ๋ง๋์ ๋ฐ๊ฐ์์. (Remember, this polite casual speech is not rude, you can use this with people older than you.
Okay, so if your tie all three parts together, your ์ธ์ฌ should sound like this.
์๋ ํ์ธ์. ์ ๋ Jo ์ ๋๋ค. ๋ง๋์ ๋ฐ๊ฐ์ต๋๋ค.
