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!
You can download a free PDF for this lesson here, or if you want to study with our TalkToMeInKorean textbooks, you can get them here. And after you learn the basics, try writing your own Korean sentences and get corrections from native speakers through HaruKorean, our 1:1 correction service.
Why does is cost more for a hamburger than it does to get to work? ;o
In the U.S., depending on where you live, subway/bus fare can be 1-2 dollars for one way. A hamburger with a meal can be 6-7 dollars, so it seemed to make sense to me ^_^.
The PDF doesn’t have the word for 0 in it.
And also, I’m coming to Seoul next week! I’d love to contact TTMIK! That is, if you actually mean it about us contacting you all haha.
Thank you. you guys are really great teachers
한국어 숫자는 일분어 숫자와 같아요. 한국어 배우기 전, 오래 저는 일분어 배우고 있었어요.

안녕하세요 ^^ 미쉘입니다. 잔화: 공일공 오륙오칠 일사이칠
Why can’t I comment?
Wow, I guess I can. I love these lessons.
Is there ever a reason to need to write the numbers in their Hangul symbols? Doesn’t everyone just use 1, 2, 3, 4, 5…. ?

This website is extremely awesome~ I love it!!!!
Thank you so much~
yong-il-sam-yuk-il-sa-chil-gu-sam-o. is it correct?
Wow, you guys are really helpful! The Sino-Korean numbers are teached easy, but I have one question. Why aren’t you telling us, in which situation you need to use the sino-korean numbers? I have a korean friend and he tries to explain it to me, but it’s really hard to understand, and he said that there are myeong, gae, dae, nom, cheog, mal and mari (i can’t write it in hangul, sorry ): ) that are used to express the numbers.
I hope you understood what I’m trying to ask and I hope you answer my question. =)
I know that…with Korean numbers you count just:
1. Things, as you mentioned, like 명 개 대 마리
2. Age 살
3. Korean names for day, month, year: 날, 달, 해. Only used with expressions like:
once a day – 한 날에 한 번
once or twice in 2 years – 두 해에 한두 번
30 people within 3 month – 세 달 안에 서른 명
It doesn’t really count units, but used as noun.
4. Hours 시 시간
and that’s all I can think of now..
The rest is measured in chinese numbers:
price(원, 달러 or 불, 유로),
length/ height/ weight units (킬로, 미터 etc)
phone (전화 번호),
room or bus number (번),
(subway) line number(선),
number in the list (1. blabla, 2. blabla),
number of days/months/years in chinese (일, 개월, 년),
minutes (분), seconds (초)
round or session (like movie session or game round 회)
(일 회, 이 회 육 회 etc) 6회 표 두 장 주세요 – Give me 2 tickets for session 6
pretty much anything else you can think of…
Just remember the 4 usages of Korean numbers, and the rest you will know it should be Chinese. Only counters for things are problem.

Just remember what Korean numbers used for, the rest is Chinese.
As for things counters, until you remember to use more of them, use 개 , as teachers said
Heidi,
학생 mentioned the word “counters.” Counters are, yes, another way of counting. They are only used when counting specific items. Unfortunately, many items have their own counters. “Mari” (마 리 ), for example, is used when counting animals (only animals). “Gae” is the most common one, and is used to count things – things in general. You will name the thing, add the number (native Korean number), and then the counter. My Korean’s not so good yet, but I do understand this. So far, it’s the least efficient grammatical component of the language I’ve learned.

There are many people moving on with the art of photography in the right manner.
Whereas some cameras will auto-focus while
doing video, others do not which is something else to consider.
Make sure you get a decent resolution LCD with any
camera in this category.
Keeping these plants in flowerbeds or flower boxes near your home will attract tachnid flies, who will then help control the population of earwigs.
While some maintenance can be done by a homeowner, a good plumber or HVAC technician
should be consulted to make sure that your heating system will
run efficiently during the next winter season
and for years to come. However, installing a bathroom in a
basement that hasn’t already been stubbed for a bathroom can be very difficult and costly.
