Do you know how to count the number of levels or ranks? Find out at the end of this video! |
Hi everybody! I'm Alisha. |
안녕하세요. 노경진입니다. |
Welcome to Korean Counters for Beginners, where you'll learn how to count all sorts of different objects in Korean! Seonsaengnim (선생님), what counter will we learn in this lesson? |
층 (cheung) |
First, let's take a look at what kind of objects can be counted with the counter. |
When counting the number of floors, you can use the counter... |
층 (cheung) |
This word literally means "layers." You can use this counter when counting the number of floors in any type of building, for example houses or regular buildings. |
Okay, let's count from 1 to 10 with this counter. When you're counting floors you should use Sino-Korean numbers, which are based on Chinese characters. |
일 층 |
이 층 |
삼 층 |
사 층 |
오 층 |
육 층 |
칠 층 |
팔 층 |
구 층 |
십 층 |
Although you need to use the Sino-Korean numbers when talking about floors, Korean people use the pure Korean number when saying "one more floor" or "two more floors." |
한 층 더 not 일 층 더 |
두 층 더 not 이 층 더 |
세 층 더 not 삼 층 더 |
Okay. Now let's take a look at some sample sentences using this counter. Listen carefully to what sorts of objects can be counted with this counter. |
우리 집은 육 층에 있습니다. |
My home is on the 6th floor. |
접수창구는 이 층에 있습니다. |
The reception is on the 2nd floor. |
여기는 삼 층입니다. |
This floor is the 3rd floor. |
Now it's time for a Quiz. I'm going to ask you a question in English. Answer the question in Korean. Are you ready? Make sure you use the right counter. |
Which floor has a cinema? |
영화관은 칠 층에 있습니다. |
Which floor are you going to? |
구 층에 가고 있습니다. |
Do you know how to count the number of levels? The answer is... |
단 |
This means "steps" but people also count the level of difficulty or level of proficiency with this counter. |
저는 태권도 이 단입니다. |
I'm level 2 in Taekwondo. |
Okay, everyone. That's it for this lesson. We'll see you next time! |
