Significado
A formal and polite way to wish someone a good night's sleep.
Contexto cultural
The 'Mun-an' culture involves checking on elders' sleep as a sign of filial piety. It's common to ask 'Did you sleep well?' in the morning using the past tense of this phrase. In very traditional homes, children might perform a small bow (not a full deep bow, but a respectful one) while saying this phrase. While 'Good night' is common, saying this to a boss on a business trip shows that you are 'In-sa-seong' (have a good greeting habit), which is highly valued. You will often see characters use the informal '잘 자' to show romantic intimacy, contrasting sharply with the formal '{안녕|安寧}히 주무세요' used with parents.
The Bow Matters
When saying this to an elder, a slight nod or a 15-degree bow makes it much more authentic and respectful.
Don't 'Annyeonghi Ja'
Never mix 'Annyeonghi' with 'Ja'. It's a grammatical 'clash' of registers that sounds very confusing to natives.
