Welcome Jin!

It is always great to get more Koreans on this site. I hope you have some time to share information and help people out. There are a lot of questions about South Korea and who better than Koreans to answer them?

Hi....Mr.Joe !
What's new ?
So, your Korean word is wrong.
안 영 하 심 니 가 ! --------> it's wrong.
안녕하십니까 ! --------> it's correct.
or 안녕하세요 ! ------> You can use like this.
Have a good weekend.

Thanks- I was just careless- we say mind your p's and q's - (I was using the English only keyboard )and guessed ㅁ overㅂ and forgot where to find ㄲ!
Keep us all on the correct path!

Oh~~really ? I didn't know.
by the way, what's that ? ---> p's and q's
I have one friend who lives in Texas, US.
He's a University student and was knew him in this forum.
btw, he is very hard to study Korean languae.

Have a good weekend.

Oddly enough, "mind your P's and Q's" had nautical beginnings as a method of keeping books on the waterfront.
In the days of sail when Sailors were paid a pittance, seamen drank their ale in taverns whose keepers were willing to extend credit until payday.

Since many sailors were illiterate, keepers kept a tally of pints and quarts consumed by each Sailor on a chalkboard behind the bar. Next to each person's name, a mark was made under "P" for pint or "Q" for quart whenever a seaman ordered another draught.

On payday, each seaman was liable for each mark next to his name, so he was forced to "mind his P's and Q's" or he would get into financial trouble. To ensure an accurate count by unscrupulous keepers, Sailors had to keep their wits and remain somewhat sober. Sobriety usually ensured good behavior, hence the meaning of "mind your P's and Q's."
