How to say "I am so glad I did it" in Korean

The natural way Koreans say "I am so glad I did it" — with the polite form, close alternatives, and audio for every line.

When to use it

An ending rather than a phrase. Attach 길 잘했다 to any verb stem and it becomes I am glad I did that. One pattern, endless sentences.

Polite form

• ▶
  하길 잘했어요

  hagil jalhaesseoyo

  Use this with strangers, anyone older than you, and at work.

Other ways to say it

• ▶
  가져오길 잘했다

  gajyeoogil jalhaetda

  = I am glad I brought this

  The line from the video. 가져오다 (bring) plus the same ending.
• ▶
  오길 잘했다

  ogil jalhaetda

  = I am glad I came

  Two syllables and the ending. Say it at the end of a good evening.
• ▶
  안 사길 잘했다

  an sagil jalhaetda

  = I am glad I did not buy it

  Put 안 in front of the verb and it flips to relief at not doing it.

  이거 사길 잘했다.

  igeo sagil jalhaetda.

  I am glad I bought this.
• ▶
  일찍 나오길 잘했어요.

  iljjik naogil jalhaesseoyo.
