All about The Sino Korean Numbers! (How to Count Numbers in Korean)

Hello everyone! 안녕하세요 여러분! Welcome back to my channel. Today, we'll be learning about the Korean number. Let's get started! Actually, there are two systems in Korean number. One is the Sino-Korean number, and the other one is the native Korean number. And today, we're going to look at the Sino-Korean number, okay? The Sino-Korean number system is used for dates, money, prices, addresses, phone numbers, and what else, the time for minute and second, whereas the native Korean number is used for counting, ages, and the time for hour. And the reason why we use the term Sino is because it is based on Chinese language. Actually, Korea has been influenced by China for a long time, so a lot of Korean words are related to Chinese characters, okay? So from now on, I'm going to show you the Sino-Korean numbers. So please speak them out loud and repeat after me. Let's take a look at 1 to 10 first. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 Again. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 And zero is 영 or 공, 영, 공. But when it comes to the phone numbers, 공 is used instead of 영. For example, I know it is so hard to memorize if you haven't learned them before, but once if you memorize these 10 numbers, you can make the bigger ones more easier, okay? So don't worry. And from now on, we are going to learn about the number above 10. Well, in English, if you want to refer to the number 11, you need a new word called 11, right? But in Korean, you can say like 10, 1. 십일, yeah. 십일 is 11. And it is because the number of tens is 십, right? And the units is 일. So if you put them together, 십일, that would be 11, okay? 십일. I mean, for the numbers above 10, you can form them by counting the number of tens unit, and it is followed by the remaining digits. And this logic is applied to the other numbers. So let's take a look at this. So 12 is 10, 2. So it is 십이 in Sino-Korean number. 십이, 십이. And 13 is 십삼, okay? 10, 3. 십삼. And 14 is 십사, right? 10, 4. 십사. 십오, 십육, 십칠, 십팔, and 십구. And what about 20? The number of tens is 2, right? So you can say like 210, 이십. And 21 is 투텐원, right? So it would be 이십일. 이십일 is 21 in Sino-Korean number. 이십이, 이십삼. And 30 is 삼십, okay? 삼십. 사십, 오십, 육십, 칠십, 팔십, and 구십. So actually these numbers are usually used for the dates, right? So let's take a look at the examples. 오늘 며칠이에요? 오늘은 11월 22일이에요. 생일이 언제예요? 제 생일은 2월 13일이에요. Okay, so what is 33? Can you guess? It's 3, 10, 3, right? So it is 삼십삼 in Korean. And what about 95? It's 9, 10, 5, right? So 구십오 in Korean. Okay, so from now on, we'll be learning the number 100 and above, okay? So let's take a look. You need to know how to say 100, 1000, and 10,000. 100 is 백, 백. And 1000 is 천, 천. And 10,000 is 만, 만. Okay, so what is 111? One, one, one. It's actually 110, one in Korean, right? So 111 is 백십일, okay? It is also formed by counting the number of hundreds you need. And it is followed by the remaining digits. So 200 is 이백. And 202 is 이백이. And 220 is 이백이십. Okay, 이백이십. And 222 is 이백이십이. And like I told you, 1000 is 천. So 3000 is 삼천, 삼천. And 5000 is 오천, 오천. Actually, a lot of Korean street foods cost about 3,000 or 5,000 won. So it is 삼천원 and 오천원 in Korean, okay? Let's take a look at this. 이거 얼마예요? 이거 삼천원인데 더 싸게 해줄게요. And 10,000 is 만, right? 만. So 30,000 would be 삼만 in Korean, 삼만. And 50,000 is 오만, 오만. Alright, good job everybody. Let's move on to the next. How do you say 100,000, 1,000,000, and 10,000,000 in Korean? I'll give you a hint, okay? Large numbers are divided into the units of 10,000s, okay? Four zeros, right? Four zeros. So 100,000 is 십만, 십만 in Korean. Because if you divide it into four zeros, there is a 십 followed by 만, right? 십만, 십만. And what about the 1,000,000? It is the combination of 백 and 만, right? 백만, 백만. Okay, and 10,000,000 is 천만, 천만, okay? 십만, 백만, 천만. And 100,000,000, we have a new word for it, 업, okay? 업. 100,000,000 is 업. So 200,000,000 is 여, 사모, 사오, 오오, and so on, okay? And a billion is 십억, 십억. Great. Actually, we have more words for bigger numbers, but I think it will be pretty hard for you. So I think I need to stop right now for your brain, okay? So from now on, let's repeat what we learned today. 영, or 공. 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, and 100, 1,000, 1,000,000, 100,000, 1,000,000, 업, 십억. Great. Good job, everybody. Thanks for watching.
