Signification
Ask someone to convey greetings to another person.
Contexte culturel
The concept of 'Anbu' is deeply tied to 'Hyo' (filial piety). Asking about the well-being of someone's parents is considered a mark of high character. In Korean business, 'Anbu' is often the first 5-10 minutes of a meeting or the first paragraph of an email. Jumping straight to business is seen as rude. During Seollal (Lunar New Year), if you cannot visit elders, you must at least call or send a message 'delivering your Anbu'. On platforms like Instagram, people use '안부 전해 주세요' to interact with influencers' families or even pets, showing a modern evolution of the 'social web'.
The 'Third Party' Rule
Always use this when you know someone the listener is going to see soon. It makes you look very socially aware.
Don't Overuse with Strangers
If you don't know the third party well, it can feel a bit intrusive. Stick to mutual friends and family.
