    Are you asking when it is better to use formal or informal? Or how to differentiate between the two? It's really vague to differentiate the two because it really depends on the sentence but usually, formal sentences end in "요". If you're asking when to use them, formal korean is usually used when addressing people who: 1. are older than you 2. have superiority over you (teacher, boss, etc) 3. people you just met and don't know very well. Just use it whenever you have to be polite. Informal is used when: 1. you're talking to people younger than you 2. You're close with Notice that you don't always use informalities even if you have superiority over someone. In some cases you can, but in settings like offices, even if you are the boss, its always good to be polite to those underneath you so sometimes you'll see bosses talking to their workers in formal tones.

    Correct, this means "what do you mean" A more polite way of saying this is: "무슨말 인지"

    You really need to immerse yourself in the culture. That's why people who move to other countries adapt to the language much faster. It's definitely difficult and confusing at first, but forcing yourself to do it will help in the long run. If you're having trouble talking to a korean (like straight from Korea) person, try talking to a bilingual korean (i.e grew up in some english speaking country, but is still fluent in korean). Reading adult books is of course going to be hard if you don't have a firm grasp of the language yet. If you're a beginner try picking up some books in korean that are meant for little kids. They're much simpler. Next watch some k-dramas (haha this is the fun part!) you won't be able to speak like a native just from watching them but you'll definitely pick up commonly used phrases and words. What I do with music, is that after I listen to the song, I search up the lyrics and try to translate it. Or if not, i'll look for translated lyrics. Songs tend to reuse certain words and phrases so eventually listening to alot of songs will help you memorize these words and phrases. Even now, when i'm learning German and I come upon a word that I heard before in a song, it helps me remember it that much easier because I've already heard it so many times. This works for grammar too. Whenever i learn something new in grammar, i'll be like "oh, so this is why this sentence in that song was like that!". Hope this helps :) Live, sleep, breathe korean haha. Good luck!

    elizabeth is right 아냐 means no, but 헐 is a nonsense word. So this sentence makes no sense

    It's similar to the english phrase: "alright, let's do it!" or "go (noun)!" I.e if you're watching a basketball game on tv and you're rooting for the Lakers team: "Go LAKERS!" in korean it'd be "aja-aja lakers!" Something said to give confidence basically.

    Do you mean, why are asian people nicer to American women than to american men? Or just women in general? Anyways I'm asian and I treat everybody pretty much the same, regardless of gender. I mean it really depends on the personality, not if you are a woman or a man. So I'm not sure what you're basing this off of. BUT, one idea why this might seem true is that where I live, there are occasionally a lot of american military guys stationed here and I sometimes see them hitting on female Japanese tourists in a really sleazy way. That might make the Asian women a little bit more prejudiced towards the men, in the long run.

    I really like light/fresh scents. Here are some of my favorites: Marc Jacob's Daisy Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Issey Miyake L'eau D'issey They don't smell as heavy as other perfumes so I like them very much. Great for summer :)

    No. It won't be for a long time but I have a feeling that China could be the next world power. They are already becoming really big in the economical/business world. But of course, this is just my opinion, nobody knows for sure yet what is going to happen in the future.

    When to use the Dative case? Why is "his" in dative case in this sentence: "Sie sah ihm traumerisch in die Augen" "his" in this sentence is possessive (whose) and not whom. Also "sah" isn't a dative verb so I don't understand

    What Dony said is right, but I wanted to add something: In Korea, it's considered rude/insulting to call someone "당신" The only time this is okay is if it is your wife/husband that you are calling "당신" I'm not sure how to explain why it seems insulting..it just does. Haha. So try not to use this term alot when speaking to others.
