Korean Numbers - 한글 숫자

In this lesson we will learn about the korean numbers - 한글 숫자 .

숫자 - sutja - numbers

South Korea use mostly the chinese numbers. But they also use their own.

These are the most used. Also, the chinese:

일 - il - 1

이 - i - 2

삼 - sam - 3

사 - sa - 4

오 - o - 5

육 - yug - 6

칠 - chil - 7

팔 - phal/pal - 8 (don't make the 'ph' sound like f)

구 - gu - 9

십 - sip - 10 ( 십 have a slightly 'sh' sound in the s.

Let's count from 11 - 100.

All you have to do is to say, 10 + (x)

11 - sip-il - (10십 + 1일) =십일

12 - sip-i - (10십 + 2이) = 십이

And so.

20 - i-sip (2이 + 10십) = 이십 (you switch around)

21 - i-sip-il (2이 + 10십 + 1일) = 이십일

An so up to 99.

100 - baek - 백

250 - i-baek-o-sip (2이 + 100백 + 5오 + 10십) = 이백오십

And so.

1000 - 천 - cheon

1250 - 일천이백오십 - il-cheon-i-baek-o-sip ( 1일 + 1000천 + 2이 + 100백 + 5오 + 10십)

And so.
