Hello, everyone. This is GADOOL.
You know, in Korea, we have two counting systems,
Sino-Korean number and Native Korean number.
In the previous lesson, I taught when to use both systems.
So go check out the link above if you would like to learn.
And today, I would like to teach you Sino-Korean numbers
the easiest way in six minutes.
After this video, you'll be able to count up to 10,000.
10,000. Wow. So please watch it to the end.
Also, there is a mission in the end. Answer in the comment.
I will correct it if it's wrong, okay? Okay, now you might be curious
or even doubtful about how you can learn counting up to 10,000 this quick.
Let me get to the point. All you need to know is 13 numbers.
13 numbers only. Let's call it magic 13 numbers.
Sounds super easy, right? The magic 13 numbers are
from 1 to 10. These are already 10 numbers.
And additionally, you just need to know 100, 1000, and 10,000.
Yeah, all together 13 numbers, right? Okay, then let's learn the 13 numbers.
From 1 to 10 first. Repeat after me.
5, 6, 6, 7, 7, 8, 8, 9, 9, 10, 10.
Okay, again. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.
Very simple, right? And the last three numbers.
Okay, capture it or write it down. We will use them for practice, okay?
So yeah, now you should be able to count up to 10,000.
How? It's just a mix of the magic 13 numbers.
Okay, do you have the 13 numbers with you? Let's practice, okay?
For example, we learned 10 in Korean is 10. Then 20 in Korean is literally 210.
So it would be 20. Same for 30. It is 310.
And it works the same for the rest numbers. 100 in Korean is 100.
So guess, 500 in Korean is literally 5 and 100. So it would be 500.
With the same way, 6,000 in Korean would be 6,000.
And 70,000 would be 7 and 10,000.
So what do you think? Really easy, right?
Okay, then let's practice with some complicated examples.
First, 37. It would be 310, 30, and 7. All together.
And then, 265. It would be 200, 610, 60, and 5. All together.
Okay, more complicated.
5,439. It would be 5,000, 5,400, 400, 310, 30, and 9.
All together.
5,439. It might be a little bit confusing if you haven't memorized the 13 numbers.
But it's okay. Practice with different numbers first, okay?
You would just get used to it. Okay, then here is a mission.
Count your birth year in Korean. For example, I was born in 1988.
Oh my god, I'm so old.
So it would be 1988. It is 1,000, 1,900, 900, 8, 10, 80, and then 8.
All together.
So you can write it like this.
Okay, then my lesson for today is done.
What do you think? Do you find it easy like I said?
Or do you think it is still difficult?
