SINO KOREAN NUMBER
In this lesson we will introduce the sino-Korean numbers up to 1000.
Sino-Korean numbers
We will use the term “sino-Korean” when a Korean word is based on the Chinese language. Since Korea has received a lot of influence from China, many words in the Korean language have their roots
in the Chinese language. So over the course of time, Korean people started using both the sino-Korean number system and the native Korean number system. And the situations and the contexts in which each system is used are different, but don’t worry. You will get used to the two systems and how to
differentiate between these two by practicing with us!
1 일 [il]
2 이 [i]
3 삼 [sam]
4 사 [sa]
5 오 [o]
6 륙 [ryuk] or 육 [yuk]
7 칠 [chil]
8 팔 [pal]
9 구 [gu]
10 십 [sip]
And the rest is easy. In Korean, if you want to say 11, you just say TEN + ONE.
If you want to say 33, you just say
THREE + TEN + THREE.
If you want to say 99, you say
NINE + TEN + NINE.
100 백 [baek]
1,000 천 [cheon]
Can you guess how to say 312 in
Korean?
Yes, you are right.
THREE + HUNDRED + TEN + TWO
삼 + 백 + 십 + 이
[sam-baek-sip-i]
Some more examples
1,234 = 1,000 (천) + 2 (이) +
100 (백) + 3 (삼) + 10 (십) + 4 (사)
512 = 5 (오) + 100 (백) + 10 (십)
+ 2 (이)
Note that for 1,000, 100, and 10,
you don’t have to say one (일) +
thousand (천), 일백, or 일십.

Native Korean numbers
1 하나 [ha-na]
2 둘 [dul]
3 셋 [set]
4 넷 [net]
5 다섯 [da-seot]
6 여섯 [yeo-seot]
7 일곱 [il-gop]
8 여덟 [yeo-deol]
9 아홉 [a-hop]
10 열 [yeol]
From 11 to 19 is simple. You just put the number 10 and add another number after it.
Ex)
열 (10) + 하나 (1)
= 열하나 [yeol-ha-na] (11)
열 (10) + 아홉 (9)
= 열아홉 [yeol-a-hop] (19)
20 스물 [seu-mul]
The same rule as above for 11 through 19 applies to 21-29, 31-39, 41-49, and etc.
30 서른 [seo-reun]
40 마흔 [ma-heun]
50 쉰 [swin]
60 예순 [ye-sun]
70 일흔 [i-reun]
80 여든 [yeo-deun]
90 아흔 [a-heun]
Now, here is an interesting piece of information.
From numbers 1 through 99, the usage of native Korean numbers is generally very distinctively different from the usage of sino Korean numbers, but for bigger units like 100, 1,000, 10,000 and etc.,
the words for these bigger numbers in the native Korean numbers are no longer used and only sino-Korean numbers are used.
So, 100 in the sino-Korean number is 백 [baek], and even when you need to use the native Korean number, you use the same word.
And when you want to say 101, 102, and etc., you need to combine the systems together.
101 = 백 [baek / 100] (sino-Korean) + 하나 [ha-na / 1] (native Korean)
205 = 이 [i / 2] (sino-Korean) + 백 [baek / 100] (sino Korean) + 다섯 [daseot / 5] (native Korean)
1 하나 [ha-na]
2 둘 [dul]
3 셋 [set]
4 넷 [net]
5 다섯 [da-seot]

*example ㄱ*
1. 그만해 (geu-man-hae)
2. 닭 (dalk)
see the difference? it sounds like G when the beginning of the word and it sounds like K when the end of the word.
*example ㅋ*
1. 코 (ko)
2. 커 (keo)
see the difference? it sounds like K at the beginning of the word
so here you can see, basically
ㄱ for G (beginning) and K (ending)
ㅋ ONLY FOR *K* (beginning)

ㅋ this is used in beginning of words
카페 (cafe)
닉쿤(Nickhun)
It always pronounce as the k sound
If this ㄱ it is used in beginning and ending.
E.g
Beginning of the word
김밥(gimbab)
가방(gabang)
*it pronounce as g at the beginning*
At ending of words
