💡 Nova’s Tip
“안녕하세요?” is the all-purpose polite greeting in Korean — you can use it morning, afternoon, or evening. A small head nod or bow when you say it shows respect, especially in a formal setting. That’s exactly the tone 아궁 and 마두 are using!
🇵🇭 Ang “안녕하세요?” ay ang polite na pagbati sa Korean na pwede mong gamitin kahit anong oras. Ang bahagyang pagyuko o tango ng ulo kapag sinabi ito ay nagpapakita ng respeto. Iyan mismo ang tono na ginagamit nina 아궁 at 마두 dito!
