여보세요 - (yoboseyo) hello (only used when answering the phone)

내일 만나요 - (neil manayo) see you tomorrow (literally, “meet tomorrow”)

다음에 또 봐요 - (daume ddo bayo) see you again next time

나중에 봐요 - (najunge bayo) see you later

잘 가요 - (jal kayo) take care (used when someone is about to leave)

수고했어요 - (sugo hessoyo) this one is hard to translate. It means something like, “good work” or “good job”.
