Do you know if there are significant differences between the Korean language of North Korea, and the Korean language of South Korea?
Or are they still very similar?
I only really know one word in Korean... I would sound it out as ' gam zeh hah mee da '.
I asked some local, older aged, shop owners of South Korean descent how to say 'thank you' in Korean so I could thank them with more respect when I shop at their stores... I may be pronouncing or spelling my pronunciation wrong.
Apoarently it is 감사합니다 in Korean... but that is likely South Korean, and it seems that South Korean and North Korean use different words, or pronounciations, for at least some terms...
It would be interesting to learn if there are more differences between the two forms of Korean. :D
Yes !! Accent is different ... Formal is the same almost . If I hear I know someone is from NK or SK but sometimes not when wrote .
It's only been 80 years since country was artificially divided, and 70 years since US prevented democratic unification. I would be interested if OP/NK have access to SK culture/media. If they have the same words for computer and fax and email for example.
