In this TTMIK lesson, we are talking about numbers. In Korean there are two sets of number, one is native Korean numbers and the other set is sino-Korean numbers. Sino-Korean numbers are numbers that are based on the Chinese language (therefore if you speak Chinese, you will find that the sino-Korean numbers are quite similar to the Chinese numbers), and in this lesson we are introducing numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 100, and 1,000.
Numbers are not always easy to memorize, especially if you don’t have to use them often, so be sure to practice using them every chance you get!
감사합니다!

thanks for your great lesson. how do you say 101 in sino korean numbers?
gam-sa-ham-ni-da for your help.
I will say it 백 일[baek il]. Thansk for your comment.
so when can i use numbers like: hana, dul,set. and when do we use the sino-korean? I hear on TV a lot when they tell the time they use sino-korean numbers.
why there is hana,du,se..its 1, 2, 3
hannah, dul, set, etc is used for counting other things.
There are two ways to count numbers. They are Korean Native numbers and Sino Korean numbers. 하나, 둘, 셋… they are Korean native numbers.

why there is a number hana,du,se-1,2,3?
Ive noticed that the girl (i dont know how to spell your name !) say “yea, right” alot. In korean this “yea, right” translates to “ne majayo” because of they way you guys described that ne majayo means yea thats right or i agree, or whatever. but in english “yea right” doesnt necesarily mean “ne majayo”. yea right means like ” i dont believe you” or ” i dont believe what u said happened, really happened” or something like that.. im not trying to criticize im just observing and commenting that its weird to hear her say “yea right” in english but i know she really means “ne majayo” but its just weird cuz in english yea right doesnt translate straight to ne majayo. yes “yea right” translates literally to “yes thats right/ ne majayo” but the phrase itself doesnt. am i being confusing??? :[
I agree. I have to make a mental note each time I hear it and it’s a bit distracting. I had decided to keep watching to see if someone else points that out and that gets fixed… “Yeah, right” in the manner she says it, is how we say it sarcastically in English, so we would not be agreeing or believing what the other person says. It’s as if i said, “suuuuurree… (eye roll)” if she said “Yeah [PAUSE], Right” or “Yes, Right”, that would make her more sincere.
in my understanding, ‘ne, majayo’ means ‘yes, i agree’ :)
please correct me if i’m wrong.
There is nothing I can correct. Good job!
네, 맞아요.
My phone number sound musical ^^ 영 일일 삼 육육 칠팔칠사 at least its what i feel :P
my number is musical 영 일일 삼육육 칠팔 칠사 ^^ or a least it what i feel :P
안녕하새요!You guys are amazing!The sample conversation is what I love best plus Hyunwoo’s supplementary information about Korean lifestyle is a huge bonus!정말 재미있어요!In this lesson,I didn’t catch “Is everybody ready?” in Korean..was it 준비된?Is 영 more commonly used than 공?More power to all of you!
When we say “Is everybody ready?” or “Are you ready?” in Korean, we say “준비됐어요?”. :)
I think that we rather use 영 than 공. We often use 공 when we say our phone number. hehe
안녕하세요~
I don’t really use my phone, so here’s π to the 8th decimal places instead XP
삼. 일사일오구이육오..

Thanks Sir Jinseok!You’re such a big help!One last thing,what’s the present form and past form of 보내다?Is it 보내었어요?or 보녔어요?감삽니다!
보내다
present tense: 보내요.
Past tense: 보냈어요.
Thanks for your comment. :)
1192
cheon baek pal sip i
6259
yuk cheon i baek o sip pal
Is this correct?
9[gu]
8[pal]
So you should say [cheon baek gu sip i] for 1192 and [yuk-cheon i-baek o-sip gu] for 6259.
Thanks.
석진씨 정말 고마워요!
보내다 예외예요..(bonaeda is an exception to the rule,right?)
Thank you so much!More Power!
Hm… 보내다 means “to send sth or to leave sth”.
I think a great way to practice numbers is to count them backwards after you’ve learned them forward, that way you really get a hold on each one instead of having to count through them each time to find the one you’re looking for!! I realized I do that a lot, even still. I need to practice more!
일, 이, 삼, 사, 오, 육, 칠, 팔, 구, 십
십, 구, 팔, 칠, 육, 오, 사, 삼, 이, 일
Yup, the second line took me longer, haha!

is that Correct ?
Good! Correct!
Hello, thank you for the lesson. I got a little bit confused after seeing this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGquYrkdJ_s
because when she counted: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6… , number 6 was written as “륙” , and in the second time she was counting: 1,2,3…6…,number 6 was written as “육”.
and when she said: 16, it was written: “십육”.
So my question is, is there a rule about 6 when it said alone and when it’s combined with another number? or when it is at the begining or at the end?
How would I say: 16, 86, or 60, 63.
Thank you for your help.
Me too. I’m also confused about this “6″.
Help us teacher
Hi, I’m listening the lesson and i don’t understand the part about the “subway price”
cheon baek ….
the price of food 5001, how it is?
gam-sa-hap-ni-da :)
Hi, I’m listening the lesson and i don’t understand the part about the “subway price”
cheon baek ….
the price of food 5001, how it is?
gam-sa-hap-ni-da :)
cheon = 1000
baek = 100
Therefore cheon baek = 1000+100 = 1100
5001 you would say as 5+1000+1 = o cheon il

So… it sort of confuses me because i take Chinese at school and I’ve been studying Chinese language longer than Korean (other than Korean music of course ^_^)… In Chinese we say yi(1) er(2) san(3) si(4) wu(5) liu(6) qi(7) ba(8) jiu(9) shi(10) bai(100) qian(1000) ling(0)… ‘yi’ sounds just like ‘i’ in Chinese and Korean so i get confused because ‘yi’ is 1 in Chinese and ‘i’ is 2 in Korean… haha so confused =.=* kamsahapnida for the lesson though!!!
Ive noticed that Hyunwoo Sun has been starting to be more nice to Kyeong-eun Choi lately haha… joesonghapnida… i just had to put that out there ahehehe ^///^
Hello from Europe ! Please , I don’t understand ,for example, 850 is pal baek o sip yeong.

Thanks for your comment.
This lesson was fun :D
Thank you so much for all of your hard work!
Can I ask, if I had to say: 85 792
would it be:
pal-man oh-cheon chil-baek gu-ship-i?
could I also say:
pal-ship-oh-cheon chil-baek gu-ship-i?
which one would be more correct to use in conversations?
Hi Jajy,
No, you can not say the latter one, pal-ship-oh-cheon chil-baek gu-ship-i.
It is weird in Korean.
pal-ship-oh-cheon chil-baek gu-ship-i is the correct one
Hello Seokjin and TTMIK team! Great lesson but just as a suggestion, you should change the statement that you teach up to the number 1000 because you actually teach up to 9999. Keep up the good work and i think it’s very cool that you still answer questions two years later!
Hello Seokjin, this is a great lesson, but just as a suggestion you should mention that you’ll be able to teach people to count up to 9999 because in the pdf it only says 1000. I think it’s awesome you’re still helping people after two years! keep up the great work!
