9. 요새 어떻게 지냈어요?

"How have you been recently?" So if you haven't seen someone for a long period of time, like, for a month, you can say that 요새 어떻게 지냈어요? (Yosae eotteoke jinaesseoyo?) "How have you been doing recently?"

기분이 별로예요.

"I'm feeling bad."It literally means "I'm feeling so-so", nothing special, but in context you can figure out if it really means "I'm okay", or if it means something like "I feel bad". In Korean, when it's about negative feeling, it's not ideal to say something about negative directly, so people usually say 기분이 별로예요 (Gibuni byeolloyeyo), like, I feel just so-so, nothing special, nothing good, to mean "I feel bad".

괜찮아요.

"I'm fine." For example, if someone asks you 어떻게 지내요?(Eotteoke jinaeyo?) "How are you?" You can say, 괜찮아요. 어떻게 지내?(Gwaenchanayo. Eotteoke jinae?) "I'm fine. How are you?" 괜찮아요. 잘 지내요? (Gwaenchanayo. Jal jinaeyo?) "I'm fine. You're doing well?"

잘 지내요

"I'm great."that means that the person is having great days.

전 괜찮아요.

"I'm okay." So if you just say 괜찮아요(Gwaenchanayo), that means "I'm okay", "I'm fine". But if you say 전 괜찮아요 (Jeon gwaenchanayo), it means, I'm okay, but i'm not sure about other person. 전 괜찮아요.(Jeon gwaenchanayo.) "As for me, I'm okay." So for example, if your friend know there was something bad happened to your family, and asks you 어떻게 지내?(Eotteoke jinae?) "How are you?" Then if you say 난 괜찮아(Nan gaenchana), or 전 괜찮아요(Jeon gwaenchanayo), it means "I'm okay, but i'm not sure about other (family members)."졸려요.

졸려요.

"I'm sleepy." So you don't have to keep saying 괜찮아요(Gwaenchanayo) always, sometimes when you're feeling sleepy you can also say 졸려요 (Jollyeoyo), "I'm sleepy."

바쁘게 지내고 있어요.

"I've been busy."

물어봐 줘서 고마워요.

"Thank you for asking."

너는?

) "And you?" So you can use that kind of phrase for any situations that you want to say "and you?"

나쁘지 않아요.

\ "I'm not bad."
