Lesson 3
Credits: Talk to me in Korean
Topic: Yes, No, What?
Vocabulary
- 네 (Ne) = Yes
- 아니요 (Ahniyo) = No
Note
- 네 means “yes” but in Korean, it’s not like saying “yes” in English. 네 in Korean expresses your agreement while 아니요 expresses disagreement.
- 아니요 = That’s not right. / I don’t agree. / What you said is not correct.
- 네 = That’s right. / I agree. / That’s correct
Example 1
- 커피 좋아해요? [Keo-pi jo-a-hae-yo?] = Do you like coffee?
- 네. 좋아해요. [Ne. Jo-a-hae-yo] = Yes, I like coffee.
Example 2
- 커피 좋아해요? [Keo-pi jo-a-hae-yo] = Do you like coffee?
- 아니요. 안 좋아해요. [Ah-ni-yo. An jo-a-hae-yo] = No, I don’t like coffee.
Example 3
- 커피 안 좋아해요? [keo-pi an jo-a-hae-yo?] = You don’t like coffee?
- 아니요. 좋아해요. [aniyo. jo-a-hae-yo] = Yes, I like coffee.
Example 4
- 커피 안 좋아해요? [keo-pi an jo-a-hae-yo?] = You don’t like coffee?
- 네. 안 좋아해요. [ne. an jo-a-hae-yo] = No, I don’t like coffee.
Note 2
- 맞아요 (ma-ja-yo) is often used after 네 to express your agreement (strongly).
Example 5
- 네, 맞아요. [ne, ma-ja-yo] = Yes, that’s right.
Also, the word 네 can mean “yes” or “that’s right”, it can be a conversation filler. Check it for yourself on “Talk to me in Korean” !

So I’m trying to self-learn Korean. I think I might post lesson summaries on here just for future references & reviews. Credits will be at the end of the post. I suggest memorizing the Korean alphabet first since I’ll be posting the hanguel more than romanized Korean because it’s easier for me.
