dasi mannaseo bangawoyo.

다시 means again.

In this sentence, it tells you that the meeting is happening again, so the full sentence expresses the idea of being glad to meet or see someone again.

A very literal breakdown is:

• 다시 = again
• 만나서 = meeting / because I meet you
• 반가워요 = I’m glad / it’s nice

So 다시 is what gives the sentence the sense of again or once more.

만나서 uses the connective ending -아서/어서, which links one part of the sentence to the next.

Here, 만나서 반가워요 literally has the feeling of:

• I meet you, so I’m glad
• or more naturally, I’m glad to meet/see you

So 만나서 is not the main final verb of the sentence. It connects to 반가워요.

Compare:

• 만나요 = meet / see
• 만났어요 = met
• 만나서 = meeting, and / because I meet you

In this sentence, the emotional focus is on 반가워요, so 만나서 sets up the reason.

In 만나서, the -아서/어서 ending connects actions or ideas. It often means:

• and
• so
• because
• when

In this sentence, it is best understood as something like:

• I’m glad because I’m meeting you
• It’s nice to see you
• I’m glad to meet you again

So the exact English translation can vary, but the Korean structure is very natural.

With 만나다, the stem is 만나-, so you add -서 and get 만나서.

The dictionary form is 반갑다, which means to be glad, to be pleased, or to find someone/something welcome.

When adjectives ending in -ㅂ다 are conjugated, they often change in an irregular way.
So:

• 반갑다
• becomes 반가워요

not 반갑어요

This is part of the ㅂ-irregular pattern.

A few similar examples:

• 덥다 → 더워요
• 춥다 → 추워요
• 어렵다 → 어려워요

So 반가워요 is the correct polite present form.

Not exactly. 반가워요 does not usually mean general happiness like I’m happy.

It is used when someone or something is welcome, good to see, or pleasant to encounter. In this sentence, it means something like:

• I’m glad to see you
• It’s nice to see you
• Nice seeing you again

So it is specifically about the feeling of seeing or meeting someone, not about happiness in general.

Yes, it is natural.

다시 만나서 반가워요 is used when you meet someone again after having met them before. It is similar to:

• Nice to see you again
• It’s good to see you again

You could say it:

• to a classmate you met before
• to a coworker you are seeing again
• to a friend of a friend you had already met once
• to someone you met on a previous trip or event

It sounds warm and polite.

반가워요 is in the polite informal style, often called 해요체. It is very common in everyday Korean.

Related levels:

• 반가워 = casual, used with close friends or younger people
• 반가워요 = polite, everyday standard
• 반갑습니다 = more formal

So you can also say:

• 다시 만나서 반가워요 = polite
• 다시 만나서 반가워 = casual
• 다시 만나서 반갑습니다 = formal

Korean often leaves out subjects and objects when they are obvious from context.

In 다시 만나서 반가워요, the speaker does not need to say I or you, because both are understood:

• I’m glad
• to see you again

A more expanded version could be something like 다시 만나서 저는 반가워요, but that sounds unnatural in normal conversation because the context already makes it clear.

This omission is very normal in Korean.

Sometimes, yes, but 다시 is the more straightforward choice for again in this sentence.

• 다시 만나서 반가워요 = nice to see you again

또 can also mean again, but it often has the nuance of once more, another time, or also, depending on context.

For a learner, 다시 만나서 반가워요 is the safest and most standard expression.

A natural pronunciation is close to:

• 다시 → da-si
• 만나서 → man-na-seo
• 반가워요 → ban-ga-wo-yo

So the whole sentence sounds roughly like:

da-si man-na-seo ban-ga-wo-yo

A few pronunciation notes:

• 만나서 has a doubled ㄴ sound, so say man-na, not ma-na
• 반가워요 flows smoothly as ban-ga-wo-yo

If you say it naturally, the sentence has a warm, friendly tone.

Yes.

The verb 만나다 literally means to meet, but in natural English, this sentence is often translated with see:

• Nice to meet you again
• Nice to see you again

In many situations, Nice to see you again sounds more natural in English, especially if you already know the person. Korean 만나다 can cover that idea naturally.
