Let's look at some more examples.

Listen and repeat or speak along with the native speakers.

남편, 아들, 딸, 저예요. (Nam-pyeon, a-deul, ttal, jeo-ye-yo.)

아내, 아들, 딸, 저예요. (A-nae, a-deul, ttal, jeo-ye-yo.)

아내, 딸, 저예요. (A-nae, ttal, jeo-ye-yo.)

남편, 아들, 저예요. (Nam-pyeon, a-deul, jeo-ye-yo.)

남편, 아들 둘, 저예요. (Nam-pyeon, a-deul dul, jeo-ye-yo.)

Did you notice how the last speaker says the number of sons?

남편, 아들 둘, 저예요. (Nam-pyeon, a-deul dul, jeo-ye-yo.)

This is my husband, two sons and me.

아들 둘, "two sons." 아들 둘

First is 아들, "son." 아들

Next is the native Korean number 둘(deul), "two," 둘(enunciated). 둘.

It follows 아들, son, and is used to indicate the number of sons.

To say two daughters, 딸 둘. Two daughters. 딸 둘.

You should be aware of this pattern, but you won't need it for this lesson.
