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!

안녕하세요~

jonun mark. i ship i nyon cher wol iril
It’s very easy :) Easier than the topic/subject marking prticles :D
How could i say the birthday? (the numbers i know) Or you will teach it latrer, won’t you?
I repeat everything I hear while listening to your lessons and guess what!…Ha ha I copied the mistake (said 78 instead of 75!) This is a great lesson I’ve been struggling with these numbers because I’ve been trying to learn both sets at once. Knowing Mandarin helps a little with the Sino ones.
I thought one is hana
two is dul or tul or something…
im 13 so… its sip sam ?
Kaykay, you’re right! Hana, dul, set… that’s the NATIVE Korean number system. We’ve just learned the SINO Korean number system.
Basically, you have to learn 2 sets of numbers.

Hello!
I would like to know if when I write a number (for exemple 234) I have to write it all together or if I have to separate each number.
I mean, It would be
i-baek-sam-ship-sa
or
i-baek sam-ship sa?
Thank you very much! I love your website! :) It is helping me a lot!
Some numbers sounds near to Thai, so I don’t take it hard to memorize. I really like how the Chinese people of yesterday spread these words… Hahaha..
감사합니다! :)

How about years?
천구백팔십팔 would be both 1,988 (the number) and 1988 (the year)?
Yes. You can also use sino-Korean number when you say year.
Thanks for your comment.
안녕하세요~
jinseokjin, how about years?
천구백 팔십팔 would be both 1.988 (the number) and 1988 (the year)?
i am 19 years old… so it is [sip-gu ]? and my phone number .. [chil-pal-sam-ryuk-sa-chil-i] it is all correct?
We often use native Korean number when we count age, so it is correct to say “열 아홉 [yeol a-hop]“.
You said your phone number correctly.
Are these right?
100 -> il-baek
435 -> sa-baek-samsip-o
1328 -> il-cheon-sam-baek-isip-pal
Are these right?
100 -> il-baek
435 -> sa-baek-samsip-o
1328 -> il-cheon-sam-baek-isip-pal
TY! <3
next semester I’m taking beginner Korean…hopefully I’ll be really good at Korean by the time I graduate undergrad in i cheon sip o…
1997 = 천구백구십칠?
