Hi! Welcome back! Today I'll teach you native Korean numbers and when to use them.
Let's start off with the first 10 basic numbers.
One is 하나
둘 (2)
셋 (3)
You should read it as [ set ] not [ ses ]
because this is ㅅ-pachim and it should be read as ㄷ (T)
when followed by a consonant or there is nothing after this letter.
If you're not familiar with patchim watch Lesson #5
Four is 넷 (4)
다섯 (5)
여섯 (6)
일곱 (7)
여덟 [ yodoL ] (8)
Not [ yodoLP ]
because it's a double pachim.
And only one letter should be read.
You can check out the full list of double pachim in Lesson #5
nine is 아홉 (9)
열 (10)
One more time.
hana (1), tul (2), set (3)
net (4), taso't (5), yo'so't (6)
ilgop (7), yo'do'L (8), ahop (9), yo'l (10)
To say 11 you just need to combine 10 and 1
same as we did with sino-korean numbers.
Pause the video and guess how to say 12, 13, and so on
Okay, check your answers.
12 would be [ yol dul ]
yo'l set
yo'l net
yo'l taso't
yo'l yo'so't
yo'l ilgop
yo'l yo'do'l
yo'l ahop
And how would you say 20?
It's not 둘열 [ tul yo'l ].
It's 스물 (20)
And 30 is 서른
마흔 (40)
쉰 (50)
예순 (60)
일흔 (70)
여든 (80)
아흔 (90)
And starting from 100 use sino-korean numbers
which we learned in the previous lesson.
And to say ' zero ' also use sino-korean numbers.
So, with native Korean numbers you can only count from 1 to 99
Pause the video, write down numbers, including these numbers
as we are going to practice now.
21 would be
94 is
55 is
And the last number is 105
which is
Not 백다섯 [ pek taso't ]
Starting from 100 use only sino-korean numbers, okay?
So when do we use native Korean numbers?
Use native Korean numbers to say someone's age,
to tell time.
Only hours. Not minutes. For minutes use sino-korean numbers.
I will teach you how to tell time in the future lessons
Also use native Korean numbers to count hours
(amount of time),
things,
people,
number of times.
For example, I've been to Korea two times.
and to count months.
Pause the video and read this again for yourself.
Okay, if you learned the previous lesson well enough
you should have got a question.
Last time I said that
sino-korean numbers are used to count months.
And just before I said that native Korean numbers are used to count months.
There are two words that mean 'a month' in Korean.
One has Chinese origin
and another is a Korean word.
When you want to count months using Korean word 달
You should use native Korean numbers.
For example, 'I came to Korea 5 months ago' would be
다섯달 (5 months)
And to say the same thing using Chinese word 월
use sino-korean numbers.
5 months would be
5개월 (오개월)
Don't forget to say 개. Because if you do,
it's gonna have another meaning.
5월 (오월) is May.
You can use both, 개월 and 달.
But to be safe and not to sound awkward,
I suggest you to start with 개월 because in some situations,
especially for larger numbers
using 달 may sound a bit strange.
Okay, we have just finished with numbers.
It was pretty short lesson.
Your homework is to practice Sino-Korean and native Korean numbers and become fluent,
as in the next lesson I'll teach you how to say months and dates in Korean using these numbers.
