You can say “get well soon” in Korean in a few natural ways, depending on how polite or close you are to the person.

Most common phrase

  • 빨리 나으세요.
    • Meaning: “Please get well soon.”
* Pronunciation: ppal-li na-eu-se-yo
* Use with: teachers, coworkers, elders, people you’re not super close to but want to be **polite** with.

Example short message:
“감기 걸리셨다면서요? 빨리 나으세요.”
“I heard you caught a cold. Please get well soon.”

Casual / to close friends

  • 빨리 나아.
    • Meaning: “Get well soon.” (very casual)
* Pronunciation: ppal-li na-a
* Use with: close friends, younger people, someone you speak banmal (casual speech) to.

You might also see:

  • 빨리 나아요. (ppal-li na-a-yo) – soft, friendly polite tone, often used in conversation.

Example:

    • Meaning: “Please get well soon.” (formal, respectful)

You may also see more formal “wish-type” phrases, especially in writing:

  • 병 빨리 낫길 바랍니다. = “I hope you recover from your illness soon.”
  • 조속히 나으시기를 바랍니다. = “I sincerely hope you recover soon.”

“Hope you feel better soon” style

If you want something that feels like “I hope you feel better soon” rather than a direct command:

  • 빨리 낫길 바래요.
    • “I hope you get well soon.”
  • 빨리 좋아지길 바래요.
    • “I hope you feel better soon.”
  • 몸조리 잘하세요.
    • Literally “Take good care of your body (health).” Often used together with the phrases above.

Example text message:
“요즘 많이 아프다면서요. 빨리 나으세요. 몸조리 잘하세요.”
“I heard you’ve been really sick these days. Get well soon. Please take good care of yourself.”

Tiny “story-like” example

Imagine your Korean friend 민지 is sick. You could write:

민지야, 아프다니까 너무 걱정됐어.
빨리 나아! 다음에 건강해지면 같이 맛있는 거 먹으러 가자.

“Minji, I was really worried to hear you’re sick. Get well soon! When you’re healthy again, let’s go eat something tasty together.”

TL;DR:

  • Safest polite: “빨리 나으세요.”
  • Close friend: “빨리 나아.”
  • Extra warm: “빨리 낫길 바래요.” + “몸조리 잘하세요.”
