    Knowing how to count is an essential skill in any language. Counting in Korean can be tricky, as Koreans use two different sets of cardinal numbers, depending on the situation: Korean and Sino-Korean, which originated from Chinese and has some of its characters.

Use the Korean form for numbers of items (between 1 and 99) and age, e.g. 2 children, 5 bottles of beer, 27 years old. Here's how to count to ten in the Korean form:

One = 하나 pronounced "hana"

Two = 둘 pronounced "dool"

Three = 셋 pronounced "se(t)"(" t" is not pronounced)

Four = 넷 pronounced "ne(t)"

Five = 다섯 pronounced "da-seo(t)"

Six = 여섯 pronounced "yeoh-seo(t)"

Seven = 일곱 pronounced "il-gop"

Eight = 여덟 pronounced "yeoh-deohlb"

Nine = 아홉 pronounced "ahop"

Ten = 열 pronounced "yeohl"

Use the Sino-Korean form for dates, money, addresses, phone numbers, and numbers above 100. Here's how to count to ten in Sino-Korean:

One = 일 pronounced "il"

Two = 이 pronounced "ee"

Three = 삼 pronounced "sam"

Four = 사 pronounced "sa"

Five = 오 pronouched "oh"

Six = 육 pronounced "yuk"

Seven = 칠 pronounced "chil"

Eight = 팔 pronounced "pal"

Nine = 구 pronounced "goo" ( Mostly It is "koo")
