There are two types of numbers in Korean. One is Sino and another one is Pyor. Sino numbers are in
Sino Korean and Pyor numbers are in Pyor native Korean. Sino Korean means Korean words that come
from China. So they're the Korean pronunciation of Chinese words that came to Korea very long
Each system is used in different situations like Sino is used when counting floors, date, money,
length, weight, height, and so on. And Pyor numbers are used when counting age, the number of people
or things and so on. And we'll learn the Sino numbers first because they are shorter and so
easier to learn. But the counting works the same and it's very simple in both numbers so you don't
need to worry too much. But anyways let's start our Sino numbers lesson and let's start from the
single figures from one to nine.
Excellent! So if you have these 10 numbers accurately in mind, then reading the rest
of the numbers becomes really simple. So it's important that you memorize the 10 numbers we
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
And let's move on to two figure numbers starting from 11.
Because 10 is 10 and then you add 1 so it's a combination of 10 and 1. Very simple, right?
The rest works the same way.
Can you guess how 20 is read? So it's two 10 so it's
And the rest works the same.
So I think you can guess how 30 is read by now. So it's three 10, right? Three times 10 so it's
31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, and then 40 as you guessed it four 10
And the rest works the same so we'll skip to 70.
Before we move on to 100, let's practice reading some numbers for review. You can first try reading
it yourself and after five seconds, I'll give you the answer.
Now finally, let's move on to three figure numbers starting from 100, which is
in Korean. And from there, the counting works the same. You just keep adding the number.
So
And can you guess how to read 200? Same with 20. So this one's also 200. So it becomes
And the following numbers are the same. You just add numbers from there.
And now we've managed to reach four figure numbers. But before we go into it,
let's practice more of three figure numbers.
Moving right on to a thousand.
So a big number is coming, five figure number.
In English, it's 10,000, but we don't read it.
We have a separate word for the number and that's
Okay, so once you know how to read one figure numbers from one to nine,
and it's really not that tricky to count numbers in Korean, right?
But if you are a native English speaker, you would find getting used to the numbers above
10,000 kind of difficult because 10,000 is not read, but it has a separate word, which is
But don't worry, when I was learning English, I found the bigger English numbers really hard to
get used to. So you're not alone, but you'll need to practice a lot more before you really get used
to it. Okay, so now that we took a short break, let's move on to six figure number.
So 100,000 is not
And it goes the same way from there.
So we finally reached one million, and one million is
So let's do a quick review.
Okay, so that was the sign of Korean numbers.
Now we'll begin a new lesson from here, and this time we're learning how to read the pure number.
And don't worry, we're not going to go up as far as million because it's just from one to 99,
where the number has both a synonym and a pure name. So that means we can only learn
from one to 99. The pure names are a bit longer than the synonyms, but how you add the number up
works just the same as synonyms. It's very simple. So let's begin with number one.
net
seumul
seoreun
maheun
shin
yesun
iheun
yeodeun
aheun
So basically, you just need to know these 18 numbers correctly,
and the rest becomes easy to read because it's just a mixture of one of these and one of these.
seumul
seoreun
maheun
shin

oh and one last thing i forgot to teach you how to read zero in korean so in synonym zero is young
young and in pure name it's bang so young and bang for zero okay so let's take a short quiz for
a review and then we'll wrap up today's lesson i'll give you six seconds each to come up with
an answer of both the synonym and the pure name of the number
so that's it for today's lesson great job you guys thanks for following me i hope that you are
now able to count from zero up to 1 million in korean but again as i always say you need to keep
on practicing to easily get used to it anyways i'll see you in the next lesson annyeong
