Q

Explain the two different systems of counting…

A

unlike in English, there’s a challenge with learning how to count in Korean. There are two different systems of numbers you need to know.

The first is the Sino-Korean number system. This number system involves the following numbers:

일 (il), 이 (i), 삼 (sam), 사 (sa), 오 (o), 육 (yuk), 칠 (chil), 팔 (pal), 구 (gu), 십 (sip)

And the second number system is the Native Korean number system. This number system includes:

하나 (hana), 둘 (dul), 셋 (set), 넷 (net), 다섯 (daseot), 여섯 (yeoseot), 일곱 (ilgop), 여덟 (yeodeol), 아홉 (ahop), 열 (yeol)

Q

What is 11 in each numbering system?

A

All you need to do is to add up words from the basic numbers.

For example, the number 11.

This can be expressed as 십일 (sibil) in the Sino-Korean number system and 열하나 (yeolhana) in the Native Korean number system.

A

the Korean currency is called the won.

₩ –>Korean won (원 | won)

The Korean won comes in 10 000 won increments, and although 50 000 won bills also exist, 10 000 won (만 원 | man won) bills are by far the most commonly used.

Q

How to use the two different systems…?

A

The Sino-Korean numbers system is used for time (minutes), units of time, the names of months, money, saying phone numbers, measurements, and so much more!
Also, since the Native Korean numbers system only goes up to 99, it’s used for any number 100 or greater by default. It’s a very useful system!

On the other hand, the Native Korean numbers system is used for counting things and people, age, time (hours), and for counting in general!

Q

How to write first/second/third etc.

A

We use Native Korean numbers when using ordinal numbers like “first,” “second,” and “third.”

The ordinal number counter word is 번째 (beonjjae). It gets added to the end of each number. But the first four ordinal numbers are a bit different.

“First” changes from 헌 (han, “one”) to 첫 (cheos) and adds the counter 번째 (beonjjae). So “first” in Korean is 첫번째 (cheosbeonjjae).

“Second”, “third”, and “fourth” in Korea use the Native Korean words for “two”, “three”, and “four” but drop the bottom hangul character:

둘 (dul, “two”) → 두번째 (dubeonjjae, “second”) 셋 (set) → 세번째 (sebeonjjae, “third”) 넷 (net) → 네번째 (nebeonjjae, “fourth”)

But, after that, you say the number as normal and add -번째 (beonjjae) to the end. So “fifth” would be 다섯번째 (daseosbeonjjae).

43
Q

첫번째

A

first

cheosbeonjjae

note: han changes to cheos

44
Q

두번째

A

second

dubeonjjae

(note: for second, third and fourth you drop the final character before adding the ordinal number counter.

example:

둘 (dul, “two”) → 두번째 (dubeonjjae, “second”)

셋 (set) → 세번째 (sebeonjjae, “third”)

넷 (net) → 네번째 (nebeonjjae, “fourth”)

45
Q

How do Korean counters work…

A

n Korean, they have specific words used to count different object categories. These words are called counters.

These counters are used with the Native Korean numbers.

Counters can seem pretty strange to a native English speaker because they’re so many more in Korean than English. But we do use them in English, too. Words like a bundle of hay or a stack of books are similar counters.

In Korean, 개 (gae) is the most common and general counter. You can use it for most non-living things, especially if you don’t know what counter you should be using.
