What is '치 않다'? Is it different from '지 않다'? What is '아니하다'/'안하다'/'않다'?

1. 치 않다 = 하지 않다 심심하지 않다 = 심심치 않다 만만하지 않다 = 만만치 않다 심상치 않다 ... However, '치 않다' is not used a lot. (Almost zero) in daily life. You might see it on the book, news, or etc. 2. 아니하다 > 안하다 > 않다 They are all the same.

What's the difference between 전철 and 지하철? and maybe 기차?

전철 = electric car which goes on railroad. (전: electricity, 철: rail, 철(rail)도(road)) 지하철 = subway (지하:underground, 철(rail)) 기차 = train (기:air(vapor), 차:car) So, 지하철 and 기차 are 전철. However, normally 전철 is not a train. But It looks like subway and It runs only on the ground, not underground. However, 지하철 is also called as 전철 in daily life. 전철, the word isn't used a lot these days. We only use 지하철 and 기차. 기차 is train which goes all around the places in Korea.

Why 안녕하세요, 잘 지내요? or 잘 지냈어요? is wrong?

Many foreigners think 잘 지내요? = 잘 지내세요? = How are you? But it's not. In Korean, We don't have 'How are you?' 안녕하세요? real means Are you being well? which is similar to 'How are you?' But it's more like 'Hello'. You can use 잘 지내요? or 잘 지내세요? when it's been more than a month normally.. It's like How have you been? People normally use 잘 지내요? or 잘 지내세요? when it's more than a month. You can use it like after a week, but it's a bit weird You can't use it to your classmates or coworkers because you guys meet almost every day and might talk almost every day. So you can't use it. :) 안녕하세요 is enough. in English. You can say. Hi, How are you? every day. and more than twice in a day. But in Korean. just 안녕하세요 is enough. ref) you may think... 밥 먹었어요? could be a greeting. But it's not. it really means have you eaten. it's not greeting. but question.. so you have to answer yes or no. If he is much older than you....
