~ "Native-Korean" or "Pure Korean" numbers.
Let's learn How to "Count Numbers" in Korean ^^ Part 2
We will now go to "Native-Korean" or more commonly known as "Pure Korean" numbers.
The pure Korean numbers are used when:
– You are counting things/people/actions
– Talking about the hour in time
– Sometimes used when talking about months.
하나 - hana -1
둘 - dul - 2
셋 - set - 3
넷 - net - 4
다섯 - daseot - 5
여섯 - yeoseot - 6
일곱 - ilgop - 7
여덟 - yeodeol - 8
아홉 - ahop - 9
열 - yeol – 10
And like in Sino-Korean system, if you'll write the numbers from 11 - 19, it will be like this...
열하나 - yeol hana - 11
열둘 - yeol dul - 12
열셋 - yeol set - 13
열넷 - yeol net - 14
열다섯 - yeol daseot - 15
열여섯 - yeol yeoseot - 16
열일곱 - yeol ilgop - 17
열여덟 - yeol yeodeol - 18
열아홉 - yeol ahop – 19
Now... for the rest of the Native Korean Numbers....
스물 - seumul - 20
서른 - seoreun - 30
마흔 - maheun - 40
쉰 - swin - 50
예순 - yesun - 60
일흔 - ilheun - 70
여든 - yeodeun - 80
아흔 - aheun – 90
and the process for the 21-29, 31-39 and so on is the same with 11-29 ;)
After 60, regardless of what you are doing, pure Korean numbers are rarely used. When you get that high (even as high as 40-50) it is not uncommon to use the Sino-Korean numbers instead.
