Korean Lesson (Numbers)

Hi everyone!

This is my first time to post a Korean lesson here. Today is about numbers.

As most of the Korean words derived from Chinese words, so do the numbers. Numbers in Korean divided by two types. Sino and Pure Korean.

Sino Korean is derived from Chinese numbers while Pure Korean derived from Korean language.

Please comment and give feedback if you want to know more about numbers.


Sino Korean

1 = il  ()
6 = yuk ()
2 = i  ()
7 = chil ()
3 = sam ()
8 = pal ()
4 = sa ()
9 = gu ()
5 = o ()
10 = ship ()

* Usually use in money currency. (won - )

Hundred = baek ()
Thousand = cheon ()
Tenth Thousand = man () à 10,000… 20,000… 30,000…


Pure Korean

1 = hana  (하나)
6 = yeoseot (여섯)
2 = dul ()
7 = ilkob (일곱)
3 = set ()
8 = yeodeol (여덜)
4 = net ()
9 = ahob (아홉)
5 = daseot (다섯)
10 = yeol ()

-         *  Usually use when you want to state how many things or person.
