여러분, 안녕하세요? 에이미에요. Hi, everybody! I’m Amy. |
Welcome back to KoreanClass101.com’s 삼분 한국어, the fastest, easiest, and most fun way to learn Korean. |
Two lessons ago, we learned to count from one to ten using Chinese numbers. In the last lesson, we learned a whole other way to count from one to ten—using native Korean numbers! |
Do you remember all these numbers? Let's see if you can recall the native ones first: |
1 하나 |
2 둘 |
3 셋 |
4 넷 |
5 다섯 |
6 여섯 |
7 일곱 |
8 여덟 |
9 아홉 |
10 열 |
Great job! And how about the Chinese numbers—do you remember those? |
1 일 |
2 이 |
3 삼 |
4 사 |
5 오 |
6 육 |
7 칠 |
8 팔 |
9 구 |
10 십 |
Whew, that's a lot of numbers! But I bet you're wondering what comes next, right? |
Well, if you think about it, eleven is just ten plus one. How would you say that in Korean? No need to overthink it: |
십 ("ten") plus 일 ("one") equals "eleven,” so “eleven” is 십일. |
And how about twelve? |
십 ("ten") plus 이 ("two") equals "twelve", so “twelve” is 십이. |
Seem too easy to be true? It’s not! And it doesn't get any harder when you hit twenty. |
Twenty is really just two tens. Multiply two 이 by ten 십 to get twenty 이십! Just as you'd expect, 삼십 is thirty, 사십 is forty, and so on. |
Now that you know how to count tens, you can make it all the way to ninety-nine. For example, I bet you can tell me the Korean word for "eighty-seven," even though we haven't counted nearly that high yet. Can you? |
First, we need to say “eighty.” Eighty is eight tens, so “eighty” is 팔십. Finally, say the word for "seven," 칠. 팔십칠 is "eighty-seven." |
Let’s learn one more word: The Korean word for "one hundred" is 백. |
[slowly] 백. |
Can you guess how to say "one hundred fifty" in Korean? |
One hundred is 백, and fifty is 오십. So one hundred fifty is..? That's right, it's 백오십! And I'm sure you can figure out how to say "two hundred fifty": |
이백오십. |
Great job! |
Now it’s time for Amy’s insights. |
You just learned how to count above ten for Chinese numbers, but it works the exact same way for native numbers: "eleven" is 열하나 (열 is “ten” and 하나 is “one”), "twelve" is 열둘 (열 is “ten” and 둘 is “two”), and so on. |
In the next lesson, we are going to learn the handy phrase 얼마에요? Do you know what it means? We’ll see this phrase and many others that will help you shop! |
We'll be waiting for you in our next 삼분 한국어 lesson. |
