Another #TIP Honorific forms that involves all the NIDAS like Shila hamnida (excuse me), mianhamnida (sorry/excuse me), gamsahapnida (thank you) saranghamnida (love you), boepko shipeosseumnida (I miss you), bangapseumnida (nice to meet you) are used when you first time meet someone/for grandfathers and grandmothers or a total stranger or someone serving you at restaurants. For your friends you can get as informal as possible like: Mianhe or Mianhaeyo or gamsa haeyo/gomawo/gomawoyo and then bogo shippoyo/bogo ship po and then saranghae or saranghaeyo. Test the closeness of your friendship and remember age is another factor in South Korea so just think if the person is 1 year or 2 years older than you then, haeyo but if that person considers you his dongsaeng (pal) 동생 then mianhe, saranghae, gomawo and shila haeyo can be used. Hope you are not too confused.
