Normal English to Casual Korean Translator: Sound Like a Native Speaker Instantly
Introduction
Ever sent a Korean text or social media post that came off way too formal or awkward? Maybe you used textbook phrases like "안녕하세요" (hello) when everyone else was casually saying "안녕"? That's where our Normal English to Casual Korean Translator comes in! Korean has different levels of formality, and casual Korean (반말) is what friends, peers, and younger people use daily. This tool helps you sound natural, not like a dictionary.
What Exactly Is Casual Korean?
Casual Korean (반말) is the informal speech used between close friends, family members, or people younger than you. Unlike formal Korean (존댓말), it drops honorifics and uses shorter, more relaxed grammar. For example:
| Formal Korean | Casual Korean |
|---|---|
| 먹습니다 (I eat) | 먹어 (I eat) |
| 갑니다 (I go) | 가 (I go) |
Our translator automatically adapts your English into natural 반말, complete with slang and contractions Koreans actually use.
