Bedeutung
Expresses that a long time has passed since the last meeting.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Bowing is essential when saying '정말 오랜만입니다' to a senior. The depth of the bow should match the level of respect you have for the person. In business, this phrase is often followed by an exchange of business cards if it has been long enough that titles might have changed. On platforms like Instagram or KakaoStory, people often post photos of reunions with the caption '정말 오랜만에 만난 우리' (Us, meeting after a long time). A common follow-up to this greeting is '언제 밥 한번 먹자' (Let's have a meal sometime), which is often a polite way to say goodbye rather than a concrete plan.
The 'Follow-up' Rule
Never just say '정말 오랜만입니다' and stop. Always follow up with a question about their health or life to show genuine interest.
Watch the Ending
If you use '-입니다' with a close friend, they might think you are mad at them or being sarcastic because it's too formal.
