After listening to this lesson, when you are asked a YES/NO question, you will be able to answer that question with either YES or NO in Korean.
네. [ne] = Yes.
아니요. [aniyo] = No.
But in Korean, when people say “네”, it is not the same as saying “Yes.” in English. The same goes for “아니요” too. This is because the Korean “네” expresses your “agreement” to what the other person said. And “아니요” expresses your “disagreement” or “denial” to what the other person said.
You can view the PDF here or download it here, or if you want to study with our TalkToMeInKorean textbooks, you can get them here. And after you learn the basics, try writing your own Korean sentences and get corrections from native speakers through HaruKorean, our 1:1 correction service.
안녕하세요!!! Is “No” 아니요 or 아니오?

How can I write yes, it’s right?
Ne! Kamsamida
Starting to love korean now! But actually should teach the korean alphabets first. Make us more easy to write and read in korean;-)
안녕하세요! I’m reviewing and I noticed in this pdf, there is a sentence: 커피 안 좋아해요? In a later lesson, it said 안 should come between the noun and 하다. Why isn’t it written that way here?
Hi Odette,
Basically, you can follow these two rules to make negative sentence.
1. Adding 안 [an] before a verb
2. Using the negative verb ending, 지 않다 [ji an-ta]
In the sentence “커피 좋아해요?”, the verb is 좋아해요 so 안 was added before 좋아해요.
Thanks for your comment.
Anneyonghisayo! I just started using your site to help me learn Korean because I will be living over there for two years. I must say that Ne and Aniyo make a lot more sense then yes and no in English, even though I am a native English speaker. Thanks for a wonderful site!
Hello, I’m from Brazil and now i’m starting to learn Korean. Thank you for the site, I was very happy, Fighting õ/
What`s the difference betweent 아니요 and 아니야? i heard in a song 내가아니야 and was wondering if it means `no`. @.@
Hi Keeta,
Basically, 아니요 is formal form, and 아니야 is casual form.
The meaning of 내가 아니야 is “it is not me”.
Thanks for your comment.
안녕하세요!! 찰지냈어요? 저는 Philippines 에서왔어요 한국어조금할수있어요. Thanks alot for this wonderful site! I just wanna ask, why can’t I listen to the audio lessons whenever I’m using my phone?? The audio lessons are in mp3 format right?＼(◎o◎)／ Please help me with this :’( 고맙습니다! (\(^^,)/) 조심해요!!!
Hi Rochelle Ann,
I just checked the lesson post but there was no problem. If you go to a lesson post including mp3 file, you will see sound cloud bar.
You can play it.
I would appreciate it if you let me know which lesson post did not work.
Thanks for your comment.
When dad or mom called my name
Can I just say 네?
I mean with honorific form
Yes, you can say 네 to your parents. It is not rude.

Hello Jinseokjin,
Thanks for the reply! Forgot to include the lessons that I couldn’t play. So sorry for that! ^^, Anyway, the lessons that I couldn’t play are Level 1 Lesson 2, 3, 4, and 5. I don’t know if the problem is with my new phone or not (\(-_-”)/) It keeps saying “file format cannot be played.” Thanks alot in advance for your great reply!
Yours Truly,
Rochelle Ann
Hi Rochelle Ann,
First of all, I would apppreciate it if you let me know the phone you’re using. Is it iPhone or other phone?
I am using iPhone4 and there is no problem.
Can you see the Scribd bar or PDF link?
Thanks for your comment.
Hello Teacher Jinseokjin,
Thanks alot in advance!!! (\(^^,)/)
Thanks for replying to my inquiry. Hmm. I forgot to say the lesson that I couldn’t play on my phone. Sorry for that ^^, The Lesson is Level 1: Lesson 2. I don’t know if there’s something wrong in my new phone or not (\(-_-”)/). Whenever I click the “this lesson” that’s posted in the lesson above, usually, my phone automatically opens and downloads it. That’s what happened in Level 1: Lesson 1. But in Lesson 2 it didn’t seem to work out. Awwww. Looking forward for your great reply! I just really need it
Your New Student,
Rochelle Ann Gonzales
I can now play the Level 1: Lessons 3, 4, and 5. That’s why I didn’t included them in my second inquiry. But I couldn’t still play the Level 1: Lesson 2
Help me teachers!!

Hello Teacher/s,
Sorry for the late reply. Anyway, I tried using my Nokia X2-01, Samsung Galaxy I and II, but I couldn’t still play this lesson. I don’t see a scribd bar/PDF link. Thanks alot in advance!!
Your student,
Rochelle Ann :3
It’s sad because teachers are not replying to my inquiry :’(
안녕하세요~
저는 마리아 호세 입니다, 스페인 사람 입니다. I’ve been watching drama and tv shows like Running Man for about 2 years, so I understand a lot of words but I can’t talk in Korean ㅋㅋㅋ. But I decided to go to Korea next year and I started to study Korean some time ago. And… today, even if I had you for long on facebook, I checked your audio lessons and… you’re the best website I’ve found to learn Korean. It’s not easy for me to study Korean while listening to the lessons in English, but you talk and pronounce English and Korean words so clear that I’m loving it! ㅋㅋㅋ And you’ve solved the “네” mystery I’ve been wondering for very long~ 정말, 너무 감사합니다.
안녕하세요 선생님! :>
I have a doubt here. You mention about 네 맞아요 in this lesson. Im a little confuse over this because I sometimes see people writing it as 네 마자요, actually I write it this way too. So, are both of this written correctly? I hope that I can learn the right Korean so please educate me. 감사합니다!
