How to Count in Korean
Korean has two number systems: native Korean numbers (하나, 둘, 셋 — hana, dul, set) used for counting objects and age, and Sino-Korean numbers (일, 이, 삼 — il, i, sam) used for dates, money, and phone numbers. You need both systems to speak Korean fluently.
Korean Numbers Explained
Korean numbers use two systems: Sino-Korean (일, 이, 삼 — il, i, sam) for dates, money, phone numbers, and addresses, and native Korean (하나, 둘, 셋 — hana, dul, set) for counting objects, hours, and age. Each system pairs with specific counters (단위, danwi) to form complete expressions.
