자주 하는 실수

While 'hello' is understood, 'Sat Sri Akal' is the culturally appropriate greeting that shows respect.

Wrong: Hello (using English)
정답: Sat Sri Akal

Adding 'ji' makes the thank you polite and culturally natural.

Wrong: Dhanvaad (without ji)
정답: Dhanvaad ji

The verb 'hai' is necessary to complete the question properly.

Wrong: Ki haal (missing 'hai')
정답: Ki haal hai?
