Sino Korean Numbers Posted by on Jul 10, 2009 in Korean Language

0 – young ()

0 – gong ()

1 – il ()

2 – e ()

3 – sam ()

4 – sa ()

5 – o ()

6 – yuk ()

7 – chil ()

8 – pal ()

9 – gu ()

10 – ship ()

11 – ship il (십일)

12 – ship e (십이)

There are two ways to say zero in the Sino Korean number system. To form the numbers 11-19, it’s the number ten in Korean plus the number of the second digit. For example, 13 will be ship () or ten plus three or sam (). The Native Korean numbers can only go from 1-99, but the Sino Korean numbers can start from zero and have the potential to go to infinity.

The next time we meet we’ll go further with the Sino Korean numbers. See you next time or daum eh bayo (다음에 봐요)!
