The South Korean equivalent of "how are you?," what does the common greeting "Bap meogeosseoyo" literally mean?
Answer "Have you eaten rice?"
South Korea is a nation that eats rice with nearly every meal, so "Have you eaten rice?" holds a lot of meaning. Not just limited to South Korea, this phrase has become synonymous in East Asia with "How are you?" or "How's it going?"
