아니요 and 아니에요 are NOT the same

Many people seem to think that 아니요 and 아니에요 are exactly the same because they sound similar, but there is an inherent difference between the two expressions. Learn about it through this video lesson by Hyunwoo.

This is why you have to learn language by a educated, professional teacher. I’m a korean, a native speaker, but i didn’t know the exact differences between 아니요 and 아니에요. Not every native speaker can teach someone their language. Thank you, TTMIK for the useful information!

[@talktomeinkorean]

감사합니다 😊

[@shadowknight82]

@@talktomeinkorean Can you explain the formal way to say 아니 (informal) & 아니요 (polite informal). Formal = ??. Does it not exist? I know that 아니다 becomes 아니야 (informal), 아니에요 (polite informal), 아닙니다 (formal). Does one just use 아닙니다 when one wants to say "No" formally but literally it means: it is not (the case) Is this correct? A: 선생님이에요? B: 아니요. 선생님이 아니에요. A: 선생님입니까? B: 아닙니다. 선생님이 아닙니다.

[@namdorichannel]

different situation, formal and nonformal.

[@maanpark7294]

@@shadowknight82 I'm not a native speaker but as what he said based on your example, A: Are you a teacher? B: No. I'm not a teacher. A: Are you a teacher? B: I'm not. 아니에요 is derived from 아니다.So, basically, 아닙니다. Is from 아니다. So I think, based on your example, B can use 아닙니다. Since B is negating what A said (that he is a teacher) Edit: I think 아니요 doesn't have formal form but 아니다 has which is 아닙니다.

[@kym5115]

@@shadowknight82 if i have to correct based on what i understand from this video is for the first B can just use 아니에요 which refers to " x not true" , that condition kinda show that A is asking for a confirmation after knowing things, so 아니에요 might be more proper to be used. For the second one, that's prolly right cus it match the "formality" as most formal need to be as short as possible and firm.

아니에요 can also mean 'Never mind' depends on a situation.

[@loubnastar]

Or respond when someone told you 감사합니다. You can say 아니에요. It's like not at all in English

[@JanePanjaitan]

So, there is no word for You're welcome in Korean?

[@ppeuneWH]

@@JanePanjaitan No there's no literally translated expression of 'You're welcome' in Korean. Instead you can use 응, 그래 / 네, 그럼요 (Yeah sure) or 아니에요 / 아니야 (Not at all).

[@Muhnoomuhnoo]

?? 천만에요 있지 않나? In Korea you can say 천만에요 which means literally "you're welcome" But we rarely say 천만에요 in real life so we use those words 아니야(informal form) or 아니에요(formal form) and so on instead of 천만에요. What I want to tell you is there IS actually a word that has meaning "you're welcome" in Korea.

[@user-tw9iq1bp4m]

This is the more important usage than described in the video. Koreans don't care about the difference between 아니요 and 아니에요.

I wish there were people like hyunwoo/ttmik for other languages too, now that i've been learning korean i think im spoiled for other languages lol.
