Greetings are used every day and are a very useful thing to learn when
starting a foreign language. Even if you can’t speak somebody else’s
language, you can at least show your politeness by learning some simple
greetings. As well as learning ‘hello’, ‘nice to meet you’, and ‘goodbye’ in
Korean; you may want to know how to say ‘have a nice day’ in Korean.
We've got you covered! We'll explain the ins and outs of the phrase so you
can put it to good use. Let's get started!
The phrase ‘have a nice day’ is not used that often in Korea, especially
compared to how frequently it is used in other countries. Often another
greeting such as 잘 가세요 (jal gaseyo), which literally means ‘go well’, is
used instead. In other cases, just saying 'goodbye' is sufficient as the Korean
word for ‘goodbye’ implies that you wish somebody a good day.
If you want to specifically wish somebody a good day then you can use the
phrases in this article. However, in most situations, a simple ‘goodbye’ will
suffice.
There are three expressions that you can use to say ‘have a good day’ in
Korean. Two of them use the word 하루 (haru), which in this expression can
be translated as ‘day’. However, be careful using this word in other
situations as its literal meaning is ‘one day’. If you want to say ‘two days’
then saying ‘이틀’ would make absolutely no sense at all.
Two of the phrases use the word 좋은 (joeun), which means ‘good’. It comes
from the descriptive adjective 좋다. Sometimes this word may be replaced
by 즐거운 (jeulgeoun), which means ‘pleasant’ or ‘enjoyable’.
The phrase 잘 보내다 (jal bonaeda) can be used when saying ‘have a good
day’ in Korean. It can also be used in order to say things like ‘have a good
weekend’, or ‘have a good vacation’, as shown in this article’s examples.
Now that you know how to say ‘have a nice day’ in Korean,
use your ability to greet people and make some new Korean
friends.
