How to Say “Hello Master” in Korean

주인님 안녕하세요
juinnim annyeonghaseyo
The English phrase "hello master" is translated into Korean as 주인님 안녕하세요 (juinnim annyeonghaseyo).
주인님 안녕하세요 is used in contexts where a clear hierarchy exists, such as a servant addressing a master in historical dramas or a pet owner being addressed by a pet in stylized media.

How do you pronounce it?

juinnim annyeonghaseyo

Did you know?

  • While 주인님 means 'master', Korean pet owners often jokingly refer to themselves as 집사, which means 'butler', especially when talking about cats.
  • If a person wants to address a 'master' in a professional or spiritual sense, they might swap 주인님 for 스승님, which shifts the relationship from ownership to mentorship.
  • In modern Korean web culture, using the suffix '-nim' in 주인님 can sometimes carry a teasing, slightly provocative connotation in specific internet subcultures.

Examples in context

  • 주인님 안녕하세요.
    juinnim annyeonghaseyo.
    Hello, master.
  • 주인님 안녕하세요, 다녀왔어요.
    juinnim annyeonghaseyo, danyeowasseoyo.
    Hello, master, I am back.
  • 주인님 안녕하세요, 배고파요.
    juinnim annyeonghaseyo, baegopayo.
    Hello, master, I am hungry.
