Hooooraaah! Annyonghaseyo! It's BEEN a long time since I visit this post. Sorry! I already had a prepared update for this and supposed to be posted LAST WEEK but it was erased for some Laptop issues that I really can't understand. =___= Anyway. This will be TOUGH for i'll be discussing any topics regarding KOREAN NUMBERS. It's quite confusing. *AND I'll share some TRIVIA'safter. :P~*
Anyway, have you read my previous post? REMEMBER THE LAST PART? the SINO and the ORIGINAL numbers? We'll be using that BOTH.. It's NEEDED.
*GET READY FOR INFORMATION OVERLOAD. MEHE. Kidding! :P*
I do recommend that you memorize this by heart. It will be easy like how you had memorized 1, 2, 3 so on and forth. :">
FORMAT: THE SINO = NUMBER = THE ORIGINAL
*how you pronounce
gong = 0
il = 1 = hana
i = 2 = dul
sam = 3 = set
sah = 4 = net
oh = 5 = dasut
yuk = 6 = yusut
chil = 7 = ilgop
pal = 8 = yudul
gu = 9 = ahop
ship = 10 = yul
Now thinking about numbers greater than 10?
I know that you know already how to put -teen at the end of the number word like : thir-teen, four-TEEN, fif-TEEN . . . and the use of adding TWENTY (TWENTY one, TWENTY two for 21 and 22) as well as THIRTY for 30+ numbers, FORTY for 40+ numbers and so on.
Well, KOREAN numbers are just like that.
for 10, remember SHIP (for sino) and YUL (for original)
EQUATION?
How to say 11 in SINO form:
11 = SHIP(10 in SINO) + il (1 in SINO) = SHIP-IL
How to say 11 in ORIGINAL form:
11 = YUL (10 in ORIGINAL) + HAN(A) (1 in ORIGINAL) = YUL-HAN
^get it?
ONE MORE TIME! *HEHE*
12 in SINO FORM?
12 = SHIP + i = SHIP-I
12 in ORIGINAL FORM?
12 = YUL+ DU(L) = YUL-DU
^ the same goes for 20's, 30's, 40's, 50. . .
