~ Native Korean Numbers
Grammar Focus:
Native Korean numbers are used to express time and units. They are generally used along with unit nouns that express the appropriate unit when counting things or people. Examples of unit nouns include 명, 마리, 개, 살, 병, and 잔. In these cases, the Korean numbers that precede these nouns are written in slightly different forms: 하나 becomes 한 (학생 한 명), 둘 becomes 두 (개 두 마리), 셋 becomes 세 (커피 세 잔), 넷 becomes 네 (콜라 네 병), and 스물 becomes 스무 (사과 스무 개), etc.
