Hi Korean learners! π
In this lesson, we will learn how to count to ten in Korean. Knowing how to count in Korean is crucial if you want to master the language. It can also be valuable in everyday life, like when you go shopping or need to understand the time.

Korean Numbers
Korean numbers have two types, Sino-Korean and Native Korean. Sino-Korean numbers are used for the high numbers, such as those used in phone numbers, addresses, prices, and dates. Native Korean numbers, on the other hand, are used for the low numbers, such as the numbers you will learn in this lesson.
Counting to 10
Let's start with the basic numbers from one to ten in Korean:
| Korean | Pronunciation | English |
|---|---|---|
| μΌ (ir) | [il] | One |
| μ΄ (i) | [i] | Two |
| μΌ (sam) | [sam] | Three |
| μ¬ (sa) | [sa] | Four |
| μ€ (o) | [o] | Five |
| μ‘ (yuk) | [juk] | Six |
| μΉ (chil) | [chil] | Seven |
| ν (pal) | [pal] | Eight |
| ꡬ (gu) | [gu] | Nine |
| μ (ship) | [ship] | Ten |
It is important to know that the "l" sound in the numbers 4, 7, and 8 is pronounced like an "n" sound. Therefore, μ¬ (sa) is pronounced [sang], μΉ (chil) is pronounced [chil], and ν (pal) is pronounced [p'al].
Talking about Age
In Korean culture, the way you address someone depends on their age relative to your own age. Koreans believe that age determines their social status, which affects how they speak to and interact with each other.
To ask someone about their age, use the following structure:
- "λͺ μ΄μ΄μμ?" (myeot sal-ieyo?) means "How old are you?"
Here is an example dialogue:
- Person 1: λͺ μ΄μ΄μμ? (myeot sal-ieyo?) ("How old are you?")
- Person 2: μ λ λ€μ― μ΄μ΄μμ. (jeoneun daseot sal-ieyo.) ("I am five years old.")
Fun Facts
- Koreans have two methods of counting seconds - μ² (cheok) and λΆ (bu). - The word for "eleven" in Korean is μ΄νλ (yeolhana), which literally means "ten and one". - The number four (4) is considered unlucky in Korea because it is close in pronunciation to the word for "death". Some Korean elevators do not have a fourth floor or a button for it. - In South Korea, when a baby is born, they are automatically considered one year old.
I hope this lesson was helpful! Keep practicing counting with friends and family, and don't forget to check out more Korean vocabulary on Vocabulary page!
