| 여러분, 안녕하세요? 에이미에요. Hi, everybody! I’m Amy. |
| Welcome back to KoreanClass101.com’s 삼분 한국어, the fastest, easiest, and most fun way to learn Korean. |
| Two lessons ago, we learned to count from one to ten using Chinese numbers. In the last lesson, we learned a whole other way to count from one to ten—using native Korean numbers! |
| Do you remember all these numbers? Let's see if you can recall the native ones first: |
| 1 하나 |
| 2 둘 |
| 3 셋 |
| 4 넷 |
| 5 다섯 |
| 6 여섯 |
| 7 일곱 |
| 8 여덟 |
| 9 아홉 |
| 10 열 |
| Great job! And how about the Chinese numbers—do you remember those? |
| 1 일 |
| 2 이 |
| 3 삼 |
| 4 사 |
| 5 오 |
| 6 육 |
| 7 칠 |
| 8 팔 |
| 9 구 |
| 10 십 |
| Whew, that's a lot of numbers! But I bet you're wondering what comes next, right? |
| Well, if you think about it, eleven is just ten plus one. How would you say that in Korean? No need to overthink it: |
| 십 ("ten") plus 일 ("one") equals "eleven,” so “eleven” is 십일. |
| And how about twelve? |
| 십 ("ten") plus 이 ("two") equals "twelve", so “twelve” is 십이. |
| Seem too easy to be true? It’s not! And it doesn't get any harder when you hit twenty. |
| Twenty is really just two tens. Multiply two 이 by ten 십 to get twenty 이십! Just as you'd expect, 삼십 is thirty, 사십 is forty, and so on. |
| Now that you know how to count tens, you can make it all the way to ninety-nine. For example, I bet you can tell me the Korean word for "eighty-seven," even though we haven't counted nearly that high yet. Can you? |
| First, we need to say “eighty.” Eighty is eight tens, so “eighty” is 팔십. Finally, say the word for "seven," 칠. 팔십칠 is "eighty-seven." |
| Let’s learn one more word: The Korean word for "one hundred" is 백. |
| [slowly] 백. |
| Can you guess how to say "one hundred fifty" in Korean? |
| One hundred is 백, and fifty is 오십. So one hundred fifty is..? That's right, it's 백오십! And I'm sure you can figure out how to say "two hundred fifty": |
| 이백오십. |
| Great job! |
| Now it’s time for Amy’s insights. |
| You just learned how to count above ten for Chinese numbers, but it works the exact same way for native numbers: "eleven" is 열하나 (열 is “ten” and 하나 is “one”), "twelve" is 열둘 (열 is “ten” and 둘 is “two”), and so on. |
| In the next lesson, we are going to learn the handy phrase 얼마에요? Do you know what it means? We’ll see this phrase and many others that will help you shop! |
| We'll be waiting for you in our next 삼분 한국어 lesson. |
| 안녕히 계세요! 다음에 봐요! |
