Answer

I think there are 3 basic ways to talk in Korean: formal(존댓말), informal(반말), the most honorary term(극존칭)

basic formal: 안녕하세요, 감사합니다[고맙습니다], 안녕히 계세요, 안녕히 가세요
basic  informal: 안녕, 고마워, 잘있어, 잘가
the most honorary term: 안녕하십니까, 감사합니다, 안녕히 계십시오, 안녕히 가십시오

☺

Answer

Formal - 존댓말
Informal - 반말

안녕하세요 - 안녕
감사합니다 - 감사해요 / 감사해 / 감사
안녕히 계세요 
안녕히 가세요
I am not sure of the exact ones but you can say 안녕 or 잘가 There are probably more too :)
