Remember when I shared some common phrases in Korean? Well, another great thing to learn in another language is how to say numbers. You may need to use numbers when ordering at a restaurant, buying things at a market, receiving or giving directions, and so many other things. So today, I’m sharing how to say numbers in Korean.
The English number is in bold and the Korean number is next to it. Like I said in my previous post, some of the Korean symbols don’t really correspond to English letters — such as T, D, G, and K. Because of this, you may see different spellings of these words, but the ones below are still considered correct.
One: hah-na
Two: dool
Three: set
Four: net
Five: tah-sot
Six: yo-sot
Seven: eel-gop
Eight: yo-dol
Nine: ah-ope
Ten: yol
Korean numbers go as far as 99. Beyond 100, Chinese numbers are used. Chinese numbers are actually used often when counting sequentially such as counting money, telephone numbers, dates, and mileage.
I hope this helps! Happy traveling!
