Korean Native Numbers Continued Posted by on Jul 7, 2009 in Vocabulary

20 – sumul (스물)

30 – surun (서른)

40 – mahun (마흔)

50 – shwin ()

60 – yesun (예순)

70 – ilhun (일흔)

80 – yodun (여든)

90 – ahun (아흔)

100 – bek ()

One thing I want to point out is that numbers ending in 1, 2, 3, or 4 will be shortened when a counter follows the number. For example, 11 cars will be yol han de (열한 대) instead of yol hana de.

Here are the shortened forms:

hana (하나) = han ()

dul () = du ()

set () = se ()

net () = ne ()

    Well there are two ways to say it:
    you can use the native korean numbers and the counter 살 and the sino korean numbers using the counter 세.
