한국어 (Hangugeo) Lessons

Saying Hour and Minutes

(Starting this lesson, I won't give the romanization of Hangeul words. Please practice reading them so you won't depend on the romanized version.)

Practice this dialogue 10 times:

두인: 지금 몇 시예요?
What time is it?

리한: 11시예요.
It's 11 o'clock.

두안: 몇 시에 점심을 먹어요?
What time do you have lunch?

리한: 12시 30분에 먹어요.
I had lunch at 12:30.

★Tips:
▶Hours in Korean is 시 (si but you will read it as shi).
▶Minutes in Korean is 분 (bun)

Hours (Use Native Korean)
01:00 한시
02:00 두시
03:00 세시
04:00 네시
07:00 일곱시
09:00 아홉시
Note: From 1-4, remove the last letter of the number like in saying your age.

Minutes (Use Sino)
00:01 일분
00:02 이분
00:03 삼분

When you combine:

Ex.
11:17 열한시 십칠분
01:15 한시 십오분
03:07 세시 칠분
09:51 아홉시 오십일분
05:43 다섯시 사십삼분

I'll give you a task: try to write what's been asked then PM it to me. Please don't cheat, it's for your own good.

2. 여덟시 삼십팔분
3. 네시 사십칠분
