Do you know how to say "You're welcome" in Korean, when someone says "Thank you" (고맙습니다/감사합니다) to you?

Many Korean textbooks teach the expression "천만에요 [cheon-ma-ne-yo]" as the proper response for 고맙습니다 [go-map-seum-ni-da] and 감사합니다 [gam-sa-ham-ni-da], both of which means "Thank you", but 천만에요 is not really used very often in everyday modern Korean.

Instead, what you most commonly hear is 아니에요 [a-ni-e-yo].

Follow the link below to listen to a full-length audio lesson about what 천만에요 originally means (Free Download - MP3/PDF)

  • Thumbs up if you think Hangul is easier to read/write/speak than western style letters!

  • Last week my students had to translate and English dialogue. In the dialogue a girl says Thanks! And her friend says No problem. How did my students translate it?

    A: 고마워!

    B: 문제 없어!

    ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 귀엽죠? I laughed a lot.

  • @PiroMunkie It's kind of puzzling why they choose that angle.

    I like the sound of 천만에요. I don't feel the need to fall in line and sound like every other Korean. I don't use it exclusively, but I'm not going to abandon because of this video.

  • And now I think all Koreans are thieves.

    Thanks TTMIK.

  • these guys are awesome ^__^ Namaste.

    

  • This video is really Funny.!! :))

  • ive been looking for this.. hahaha i used to say chonmaneyo, and now i know why i always get a weird response.. OTL. kamsahamnida ^^

  • @reallywally oh , they translated it literally? i am starting to learn korean right now and munje means problem and eobseo means "is not", right?

    that's really cute xD

  • @DBSKcollab I always thought that Mexican money looked like european money (euro) because it is so colorful. I guess that most countries dollars in the world except for the USA, are colorful. I laughed how it is more natural in Korea to get some money out of the wallet before you return it to the proper owner and then say aniyo

  • @AbercrombieQT88 Yea, I agree.

  • ahhh.. I understand. That's why I hear it in Kdramas all the time. I wonder why it was always translated as "no probelm" thanks guys!!!!
