| 번 (beon) |
| First, let's take a look at what kind of objects can be counted with this counter. |
| When you're counting the number of times, you can use the counter... |
| 번 (beon) |
| This counter is for counting the number of times rather than objects. When you are counting the number of times that you did something, such as watching a movie, or going to the gym, you can use this counter. |
| Okay, let's count from 1 to 10 with this counter. When you're counting floors you should use Sino-Korean numbers, which are based on Chinese characters. |
| 한 번 |
| 두 번 |
| 세 번 |
| 네 번 |
| 다섯 번 |
| 여섯 번 |
| 일곱 번 |
| 여덟 번 |
| 아홉 번 |
| 열 번 |
| Like most of the counters, the stress of the counter word should be on the first syllable when you're reading the number five to ten, which has batchim. |
| daseot bbeon(다섯 뻔) not daseot beon(다섯 번) |
| yeoseot bbeon(여섯 뻔) not yeoseot beon(여섯 번) |
| ilgop bbeon(일곱 뻔) not ilgop beon (일곱 번) |
| yedeol bbeon(여덜 뻔) not yedeol beon (여덜 번) |
| ahop bbeon(아홉 뻔) not ahop beon (아홉 번) |
| yeol bbeon(열 뻔) not yeol beon (열 번) |
| 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. |

| 비밀번호를 세 번 틀리면 은행 계좌가 막힙니다. |
| If you enter the wrong PIN number 3 times, your bank account will be locked. |
| Now it's time for a Quiz. I'm going to ask you a question in English. Please answer the question in Korean. Are you ready? Be sure to use the right counter. |
