How Do You Say I Miss You Too in Korean?

The standard way to say I miss you too in Korean is 나도 보고 싶어. It is built from 나 (na, I), the particle 도 (do, too), the verb 보다 (boda, to see) and the ending -고 싶어 (-go sipeo, want to). Together they say "I also want to see you".

Korean often drops "you", so nothing in the sentence names the other person. The next section sorts the forms by level.

What Are the Formal, Polite and Casual Ways to Say I Miss You Too?

The forms follow the Korean speech levels, explained in the guide to Korean speech levels. Here we move from formal to casual.

Formal: 저도 보고 싶습니다 (jeodo bogo sipseumnida)

저도 보고 싶습니다 uses the formal -습니다 ending and the humble 저. It fits a letter to a teacher or a message to an older relative who expects formal speech. It is pronounced [저도 보고 십씀니다].

Polite: 저도 보고 싶어요 (jeodo bogo sipeoyo)

저도 보고 싶어요 is the everyday polite form. It suits parents, teachers, colleagues and friends you address politely. It is pronounced [저도 보고 시퍼요].

Casual: 나도 보고 싶어 (nado bogo sipeo)

나도 보고 싶어 drops the polite 요 and uses the plain 나. Use it with a partner, a close friend or a younger person. Add 너무 or 진짜 to make it stronger: 나도 너무 보고 싶어.

Short Reply: 저도요 (jeodoyo)

저도요 means "me too". The polite 요 attaches directly to 저도, with no verb. It is the quickest warm reply, and it works for any "me too", not only for missing someone.

Past: 나도 보고 싶었어 (nado bogo sipeosseo)

나도 보고 싶었어 is pronounced [나도 보고 시퍼써]. It means "I missed you too". Say it when you meet again, or when you look back on the time apart.

Same Feeling: 나도 그래 (nado geurae)

그래 (geurae) means "it is so", and 나도 그래 means "me too, same here". It fits when the other person describes any feeling, not only missing. The polite form is 저도 그래요.

The Pattern behind It: the Particle 도

The particle 도 means "also" or "too". It replaces 은/는 and 이/가, and it attaches to the word it adds. 나도 is "I too", 저도 is "I too" (polite), and 친구도 is "my friend too". After 도, you do not add 가, so 나도가 is wrong. Once you know this pattern, you can say 저도 좋아요 (I like it too), 저도 가요 (I'm going too) and 저도 한국어 공부해요 (I study Korean too).

How Do You Pronounce 나도 보고 싶어?

나도 보고 싶어 is pronounced [나도 보고 시퍼], na-do bo-go si-peo, in six syllables. The only change is in 싶어, where the ㅍ moves to the next syllable.

1. 나 (na) and 도 (do): a clear "na" and a soft "do".
2. 보 (bo) and 고 (go): the ㄱ between vowels is soft, close to "g".
3. 싶 (sip): spelled with ㅍ, but the ㅍ moves on in speech.
4. 어 (eo): joins the ㅍ to sound like "puh", with an unrounded ㅓ.

Sounds to Listen For

These notes follow the National Institute of Korean Language standard pronunciation rules (표준 발음법):

• A final consonant moves to a vowel. 싶어 is [시퍼], 싶어요 is [시퍼요] and 싶었어 is [시퍼써] (Article 13).
• Formal ending. 싶습니다 is [십씀니다]: ㅍ is said as ㅂ at the end of a syllable (Article 9), ㅅ becomes tense ㅆ (Article 23) and ㅂ before ㄴ turns into ㅁ (Article 18).
• No change in the pronoun. 나도 and 저도 are said as written, so keep the ㄷ soft between vowels.

Practise the words in two parts: 나도 / 보고 싶어. Then link them. If you say 싶어 as [십어], without linking, it sounds choppy and foreign.

When Should You Use 나도 보고 싶어, and When Should You Not?

Use 나도 보고 싶어 as an echo. It answers someone else's 보고 싶어, so it works best right after they say it.

Situations Where It Fits

• A call with a partner. 보고 싶어. 나도 보고 싶어.
• A text from a friend abroad. 저도 보고 싶어요.
• A message from a parent. 저도요, 엄마.

Situations to Avoid

• Starting the conversation. If you speak first, say 보고 싶어요 with no 도. See I miss you in Korean.
• Missing a place or a time. 그리워요 fits better.
• A feeling you do not share. Do not say 나도 out of politeness if you are unsure. A warmer, honest reply is 연락해 줘서 고마워요 (thank you for contacting me).

Two short conversations show how the phrase sounds.

What Does I Miss You Too Sound Like in a Real Conversation?

In real life, the phrase comes as a reply, often with a plan to meet. Listen for the soft ending.

What to notice: 언제 만날 수 있어? is a wh-question, so the pitch does not climb at the end. The promises 갈게 and 기다릴게 end with -ㄹ게, pronounced [갈께] and [기다릴께].

What to notice: Minji answers with 저도 and a polite 요 ending, so the whole exchange stays in one level. The ending -아요 in 만나요 means "let's meet" here.

What Should You Know about the Culture behind I Miss You Too?

In Korean, a reply that echoes the other person's words is a sign of closeness. People who miss each other often say 보고 싶어 first and the other answers 나도, and the exchange can end there. Short replies also work in messages, where a single 저도요 is both polite and warm.

• Texting. In casual messages, 나도 is sometimes typed 나두 to sound cute, and ㅠㅠ (two crying eyes) is added to the end.
• Family. Children say 저도 보고 싶어요 to parents on the phone, and parents answer 엄마도 보고 싶어.
• Plans follow. Missing someone is often followed by a plan to meet, such as 이번 주말에 만나요 (let's meet this weekend).

An expert tip: when you reply, match the sender's level. If they write 보고 싶어요, answer 저도 보고 싶어요, and if they write 보고 싶어, answer 나도 보고 싶어. Matching feels natural and shows you listened.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you say I miss you too in Korean?

Say 나도 보고 싶어 (nado bogo sipeo) to a partner or a close friend. In polite speech, say 저도 보고 싶어요 (jeodo bogo sipeoyo). In formal speech, say 저도 보고 싶습니다. The particle 도 means "too", and the verb phrase 보고 싶다 means "to want to see", which is how Korean says "miss".

How do you say I missed you in Korean?

Use the past: 보고 싶었어 (bogo sipeosseo) in casual speech and 보고 싶었어요 (bogo sipeosseoyo) in polite speech. To say "I missed you too", add 나도 or 저도 in front: 나도 보고 싶었어. The past shows that the time apart is over, so people say it when they meet again. Pronounce it [보고 시퍼써].

How do you say I miss you so much in Korean?

Add 너무 (neomu, so much) or 많이 (mani, a lot) before the verb: 너무 보고 싶어 or 많이 보고 싶어요. With 도, say 나도 너무 보고 싶어, "I miss you so much too". Friends also say 진짜 보고 싶어 (jinjja bogo sipeo), "I really miss you". The more casual the setting, the stronger the adverb can be.

What is the difference between 나도 and 저도?

Both mean "me too". 나도 (nado) is casual and is used with friends, partners and younger people. 저도 (jeodo) is the humble, polite version, used with teachers, elders, colleagues and strangers. Pair 나도 with casual endings such as 싶어 and 저도 with polite endings such as 싶어요. Mixing them, such as 저도 보고 싶어, sounds uneven.

Can I just say 저도요?

Yes. When someone says 보고 싶어요, you can answer with the short 저도요 (jeodoyo), which means "me too". It is polite, warm and very common. For a casual reply, say 나도 or 나도 그래 (nado geurae, "same here"). A single word is enough when the listener has just said the full phrase.

What is the most common mistake with I miss you too in Korean?

Learners translate "too" as 또 (again) or 너무 (too much), which are wrong. Use the particle 도 and attach it to the person: 나도, 저도. A second slip is putting 가 and 도 together, as in 나가도, which changes the meaning. A third is pronouncing 싶어 as [십어] instead of [시퍼].
