In This Lesson, You Learned:
One: 일, il
Two: 이, i
Three: 삼, sam
Four: 사, sa
Five: 오, o
Six: 육, yuk
Seven: 칠, chil
Eight: 팔, pal
Nine: 구, gu
Ten: 십, sip
These numbers can be stacked together to create bigger numbers. So eleven if just 10 + 1: sibil. 12, sibi, and so on. When you get to 20, it becomes 2 + 10: isip. All the way up to 100 which is 백, baek.
Featured Trade Secret:
Since Korean has two number systems, it can sometimes be confusing to know when you should use the numbers we learned today. But an easy thing to remember is that these numbers, the Sino-Korean numbers, are used for all bigger numbers past 100. That's because the other number system, the Native Korean numbers, only go up to 100. And you can use the numbers we learned today to talk about most things except age and hours of the clock.
