Answer 1

Hi! = An-nyung! (안녕!) - common ; An-nyung-ha-se-yo (안녕하세요) - polite

Bye! = Jar-ga! (잘가!) - common ; An-nyung-he-ga-seyo (안녕히가세요) - polite

Yes! = Uh! (어) - common ; Ma-ja-So-yo (맞았어요) - polite

No! = A-ni! (아니) - common ; Tul-lyus-o-yo (틀렸어요) - polite

OK = Ma-ja!

Good Job = Jal-hess-o-yo (잘했어요)

Excellent = A-joo Jal-hess-o-yo (아주 잘했어요)

Wait = Juam-Gan (잠깐)

One Minute = il - boon (일분)

Water = Mul (물)

Food = Um - Seek (음식)

Answer 2

hi = 안녕.   (ahn-yawng!)

bye = 안녕. (ahn-yawng!)    ***yes, in Korean, hi and bye INFORMAL uses the same word***

yes = 응  (euhng).  You would most likely use this one to a little kid...  But if you want to be a bit more respectful, use 네 (neh)

no = 아니 (ah-nee).  But it kinda depends what you're saying no to...

okay = 좋아!  (joh-ah!) ...or... 오케이!  (oh-kay-ee).  

good job = 잘 했어!  (jahl-hae ssaw)

excellent = ermm.. there's a lot of words for this. lol.

wait = 잠깐 기다리십시오..  this is formal....  I wish I could tell you the informal but I don't have the charcters for it on my keyboard.   You say this one like jahm kahn gee dah ree sheep she oh.   If you want to SAY the informal one, it is pronounced like "jahm kah mahn!"

one minute = ...koreans use the same thing for this as "wait"

water = 물  (mool)

food = it depends on what kind of food...  like... regular "food" is "음식"  (euhm-sheek)

but baby food is 유아식 (yew ah sheek).   American food is 양식 (yahng sheek).   Favorite food is "기호품 " (gee ho poom).....etc.
