| Hi everyone, welcome to another Korean whiteboard lesson. |
| My name is Keijin. 안녕하세요, Keijin입니다. |
| In this lesson, you will learn about currency and large numbers in Korean. |
| Let's get started. |
| Okay, let's look at the vocabulary. |
| First, let me introduce 10, 100, 1000, and 10,000. |
| 십 (sip), and 백 (baek), and 천 (cheon). Lastly, 만 (man). |
| Next, let's talk about how to form higher numbers. |
| Let's look at the dialogue. |
| While I read, I want you to pay attention to the price. |
| Find what the price is and see how it's used in the dialogue. |
| 이거 얼마예요? (I-geo eol-ma-ye-yo?) |
| How much is it? |
| 육천 원이에요. (Yuk-cheon won-i-e-yo.) |
| It's 6,000 won. |
| So let me repeat this dialogue again. |
| 이거 (i-geo), this, 얼마예요? (eol-ma-ye-yo?) |
| 얼마 (eol-ma), how much? |
| 예요 (ye-yo), it's like is. |
| So how much is this? |
| 이거 얼마예요? (I-geo eol-ma-ye-yo?) |
| 육천 (Yuk-cheon) |
| It's a number that you learned, right? |
| 육천 (yuk-cheon) |
| So 육천 (yuk-cheon), simply 6,000. |
| Won, which is the Korean currency. |
| 이해요. (i-e-yo) |
| It's kind of like is. |
| So it's 6,000 won. |
| 이해요. (i-e-yo) |
| Now, let's look at some speaking examples. |
| 천팔백이십 원이에요. (Cheon-pal-baeg-i-sip won-i-e-yo.) |
| Did you get it? |
| 천팔백이십 원이에요. (Cheon-pal-baeg-i-sip won-i-e-yo.) |
| 천 (cheon), 천, 1000. |
| And 팔백 (pal-baek), 팔백, 팔백 is 800. |
| 팔백 (pal-baek), 800. |
| Now, 이십 (isip), 이십, 이 (i), two, and 십 (sip) means ten. |
| So what happens if there are two tens? |
| Then it's 20. |
| So 1,820 in Korean is 천팔백이십 (cheon-pal-baeg-i-sip) |
| So 천팔백이십 원 (cheon-pal-baeg-i-sip won) |
| It means is 1,820 won. |
| Next, 삼만 칠천 원이에요. (Sam-man chil-cheon won-i-e-yo.) |
| Did you get it? |
| 삼만 칠천 원이에요. (Sam-man chil-cheon won-i-e-yo.) |
| 삼만 (sam-man), 삼만 (sam-man). What is 삼만 (sam-man)? 삼 (sam) 3, 만 (man),만 (man) is 10,000. Right? |
| So 삼만 (sam-man) means 30,000. |
| What is 칠천 (chil-cheon)? |
| 칠 (chil) means seven and 천 (cheon) means thousand. |
| So 칠천 (chil-cheon) means 7,000. |
| So jaan!, 7,000. |
| So all together 삼만 칠천 (sam-man chil-cheon) is 37,000. |
| So 삼만 칠천 원이에요. (Sam-man chil-cheon won-i-e-yo.) |
| It means It's 37,000 won. |
| Now let's look at the sentence pattern. |
| This pattern is the structure that all of our dialogues followed. |
| [NUMBER]원이에요. [NUMBER]won-i-e-yo. |
| So in English it means It's [NUMBER] won. |
| So number, well just put any price that you want to say. |
| Won is a Korean currency. |
| 원 (won), Korean won. |
| 이에요 (ieyo), 이에요 means like is. |
| All together is [NUMBER] 원 (won). |
| So this is how we say it's the price. |
| The price is blah blah. |
| It's number, blah blah, won. |
| [NUMBER]원이에요. [NUMBER]won-i-e-yo. |
| The official currency of South Korea is the won. |
| 10,000 Korean won is about seven to nine US dollars on average. |
| In Korea, we use four kinds of coins. |
| 10원 (sip won), 10 won |
| 50원 (o-sip won), 50 won |
| 100원 (baek won),100 won |
| 500원 (o-beak won), 500 won |
| and we use four kinds of bills |
| 1,000원 (cheon won), 1,000 won |
| 5,000원 (o-cheon won), 5,000 won |
| 10,000원 (man won), 10,000 won |
| 50,000원 (o-man won),50,000 won |
