Notes: Having recently transited through Incheon in Korea, I was very impressed with the culture and language.

It was certainly an impressive, vivid but all too short stay. It is very nice to see the drive to keep your distinct customs alive.

The Korea culture saying

"Have You Eaten?" << 이건 제목을 위한 충분히 좋아요. 

제목에 중요한 단어 모두 대문자로 써야 돼요. 항상. 따옴표에도..

 

About 60 years ago, Korea was impoverished and food was so scarce that simply surviving was a major problem.


Korea had been agrarian based society and teamwork was something everyone believed in.


A main concern at the time was whether people had enough food or not, so naturally people began to greet others by asking (them) "Have you eaten?" 

 

I guess this way of greeting people is being used less and less these days/is going out of style/fashion. Younger Koreans don't seem to use the expression (too) much anymore. 

Please correct this. >

I would appreciate it if you would correct this. <

이건 더 정중한 표현입니다.
그건 더 공순표현입니다.
더 아주 높임말 표현입니다.

 

Thank you.
