Frequently asked questions

Are these Korean phrases formal or informal?

Most are neutral and safe for both casual and polite settings. When the difference matters in Korean, we choose the everyday-polite form.

How accurate is the romanization?

Romanizations are tuned for English speakers as a pronunciation aid, not a strict transliteration. Use them as a guide, then listen to a native speaker.

Can I copy Korean text into any app?

Yes. Every phrase copies as Unicode and pastes into chat apps, notes, email, design tools and word processors with no encoding issues.

Will my keyboard switch to Korean after copying?

No. Copy-paste only inserts the characters; your typing layout doesn't change. To type Korean regularly, install a system keyboard.
