Hello and welcome to Day 11 of learning basic Korean!
Today, we’re going to learn how to read and write numbers in Korean. Did you know that Korean uses two number systems?
Let’s explore them!
1️⃣ Native Korean Numbers (고유어 숫자)
These are mostly used for:
- Age
- Counting objects
- Telling the hour of time (like 3 o’clock)
NumberKorean
| 1 | 하나 (hana) |
| 2 | 둘 (dul) |
| 3 | 셋 (set) |
| 4 | 넷 (net) |
| 5 | 다섯 (daseot) |
| 6 | 여섯 (yeoseot) |
| 7 | 일곱 (ilgop) |
| 8 | 여덟 (yeodeol) |
| 9 | 아홉 (ahop) |
| 10 | 열 (yeol) |
Examples:
- Age: 저는 스물다섯 살이에요. (I’m 25 years old.)
- Count: 사과 세 개 주세요. (Please give me three apples.)
✏️ Note: These numbers often change form when used before nouns.
Examples:
하나 → 한 (han), 둘 → 두 (du), 셋 → 세 (se), 넷 → 네 (ne)
