Hi Tiahna,
Thanks for posting. Actually, Sino Korean numbers can be used in various other situations, some examples are:
minutes, seconds
months (both for counting the calendar like January, February, etc., but also for the number of months in terms of duration (keep in mind that native Korean counters can be used too.
Example:
삼 개월 동안 바빴어요.=I was busy for three months.
세 달 걸렸어요. It took three months(to get it done).
It can also be used to count money, portions of food, etc., to name a few.
As for the rest, you will likely pick it up as you continue your Korean studies.
And from 100 and after, you only use Sino-Korean numbers, keep this in mind!

Hi, thank you for your lessons.
I have a question: if I have a free account, can I only watch the first 3 lessons in this pathway called "Korean in 3-minute videos?" For some reason, I don't seem to have access to the other videos, and I was wondering if this might be the reason.

Hi Korean Beginner,
Thanks for posting, You just combine the two numbers (like you would with 25: 20(twenty) + 5(five)). In the case of 13, it would be 10(십) + 3(삼)=십삼, etc.
Hope this helped.

Hello, I can't watch these videos.😭
Why ???
Hi Justin,
Thank you for posting. To answer your question, most likely, native Koreans will understand what you are saying, but will think that you have not gotten the Korean numeric system down yet(and some may even correct you/make a correction). 😅
Please let us know if you have any other inquiries.

What happens if I use Sino Korean numbers for something you're supposed to use Native Korean for? Will people actually not understand?

Loved the lesson! But some quick questions! Are the Chinese-based numbers for Korean only used for giving out your phone number or for more situations? And do the Chinese-based number go up higher like 1-100? Just would like to make sure! Thank you!

Hi Sabrina,
Thanks for posting. Sorry that it is so confusing for you--but you will need to know both number systems as they are used in different situations... so please try to remember both! 😄
Cheers,

how relevant is it to learn both of these number systems? is there one that is used more often in korea? because to me, its kind of confusing to try to memorize both
Hi Ainsley,
Thank you for asking.
They sound just the same, so you might be confused when you just hear the word alone. Korean people usually figure out the meaning by the context, and I believe you will be able to do that well!
Thank you again,

One question: are 이 (teeth) and 이 (two) homophones? Do these two get confused often?
Hi Jamie,
Thanks for sharing with us! :smile:

I don't know if anyone was curious, but I thought I'd post the Chinese numbers here so everyone can see the similarity. The characters aren't anything alike because Chinese characters aren't phonetically based like Hangul is, but the sounds are very close.
零 líng
一 yī
二 èr
三 sān
四 sì
五 wǔ
六 lìu
七 qī
八 bā
九 jǐu
十 shī
Now you guys can count in Chinese too :smile:
