📆 2. Days (일) in Korean

DayKorean
1st 1일 (il-il)
2nd 2일 (i-il)
10th 10일 (sip-il)
15th 15일 (sip-o-il)
25th 25일 (i-sip-o-il)
 

📌 There are no irregulars—just attach "일" after the number.


🗓 3. Saying Full Dates

Format: [Month] + [Day]
Example:

  • March 10 → 삼월 십일일 (sam-wol sip-il-il)
  • July 1 → 칠월 일일
  • December 25 → 십이월 이십오일

🎂 4. Talking About Birthdays

Pattern:

제 생일은 [Month] [Day]이에요.
(My birthday is ...)

Examples:

  • 제 생일은 3월 10일이에요.
  • 친구 생일은 5월 1일이에요.

🗣 5. Mini Conversation Practice

Q: 오늘은 며칠이에요? (What’s today’s date?)
A: 오늘은 5월 9일이에요. (Today is May 9.)

Q: 생일이 언제예요? (When is your birthday?)
A: 제 생일은 8월 15일이에요. (My birthday is August 15.)


✅ Mini Practice Challenge

Translate into Korean:

  1. Today is December 25.
  2. My birthday is June 1.
  3. My friend’s birthday is November 3.
  4. What’s the date today?
