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), which counter will we learn in this lesson? |
권 (gwon) |
First, let's take a look at what sorts of objects can be counted with this counter. |
You can use this counter to count books. |
권 (gwon) |
This counter can be used to count books or any object similar to a book, such as a photo album. |
Okay, let's count from 1 to 10 with this counter. |
한 권 |
두 권 |
세 권 |
네 권 |
다섯 권 |
여섯 권 |
일곱 권 |
여덟 권 |
아홉 권 |
열 권 |
This counter sounds different when it meets with the numbers that have batchim. Those are the numbers 5 to 10. |
daseot kkwon(다섯 꿘) not daseot gwon(다섯 권) |
yeoseot kkwon(여섯 꿘) not yeoseot gwon(여섯 권) |
ilgop kkwon(일곱 꿘) not ilgop gwon (일곱 권) |
yedeol kkwon(여덜 꿘) not yedeol gwon (여덜 권) |
ahop kkwon(아홉 꿘) not ahop gwon (아홉 권) |
yeol kkwon(열 꿘) not yeol gwon (열 권)" |
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. |

You can use this counter when counting magazines or newspapers. Unlike books, these are published on a daily or a weekly basis. You can use this counter when counting the periodic publication. Seonsaengnim (선생님) will give you an example. |
신문 배달원이 매일 우리 집에 신문 한 부씩 배달합니다. |
The newspaper delivery man delivers a copy of the newspaper to my house every day. |
Okay, everyone. That's it for this lesson. We'll see you next time! |
