Counters are nessecary particles attached when counting something. Like people, books, objects etc.
Reminder: counters involve native korean numbers and the same rules we used to represent age.
Most common counters are:
개 for items
명 for people
사람 for person
마리 for animals
조각 for slices
잔 for glasses
권 for books/notebooks
병 for bottles
대 for cars/machines
채 for houses and buildings
살 for age (surprise! Its a counter. The actual word age = 나이)
Using them:
개 -> 오렌지 한 개
명 -> 친구 두 명
사람 -> 세 사람
마리 -> 고양이 네 마리
조각 -> 피자 한 조각
장 -> 물 두 잔
권 -> 책 다섯 권
And so on. You can find pdf files for counters on google too!
Vocabulary:
책 - book
피자 - pizza (hands up those who call it peeedza)
친구 - friend
고양이 - cat
Fyi, never use 개 alone. 개 means dog and it might be interpretted as a swear word- yeah Imma teach you how to curse too XD
