TL;DR โ€” Sino-Korean Numbers in 3 bullets
  • ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ Sino-Korean numbers (ํ•œ์ž์–ด ์ˆซ์ž) come from Chinese: ์ผ, ์ด, ์‚ผ, ์‚ฌ, ์˜ค, ์œก, ์น , ํŒ”, ๊ตฌ, ์‹ญ.
  • ๐Ÿ“… Use them for dates, money, minutes, phone numbers, floors, math โ€” anything that feels "countable / formal / measured."
  • โš ๏ธ Watch the irregulars: 6์›” = ์œ ์›”, 10์›” = ์‹œ์›”. And don't use them for hours โ€” that's Native Korean's job (ํ•œ ์‹œ, ๋‘ ์‹œ).
๐ŸฆŠ
Iru's Helper Note
์•ˆ๋…•! ๐ŸฆŠ Korean has TWO number systems and learners always panic at this. Don't! There's a clean rule of thumb: if the number sits in front of a counter that feels "measured" โ€” money (์›), time-units smaller than an hour (๋ถ„, ์ดˆ), dates (๋…„/์›”/์ผ), floors (์ธต), or any formal measurement โ€” use Sino-Korean. If you're counting items or saying the hour, you'll use Native Korean (next lesson). Master Sino-Korean first because it covers more ground and follows a beautifully regular pattern. Let's go! ๐Ÿš€

in a side window and play each number aloud. Pay extra attention to ์œ ์›” (June) and ์‹œ์›” (October) โ€” these are NOT ์œก์›” / ์‹ญ์›”!

๐Ÿ”ข The Sino-Korean Digits 0โ€“10

  • 0๏ธโƒฃ ์˜ (formal zero) / ๊ณต (zero in phone numbers, room numbers)
  • 1๏ธโƒฃ ์ผ
  • 2๏ธโƒฃ ์ด
  • 3๏ธโƒฃ ์‚ผ
  • 4๏ธโƒฃ ์‚ฌ
  • 5๏ธโƒฃ ์˜ค
  • 6๏ธโƒฃ ์œก
  • 7๏ธโƒฃ ์น 
  • 8๏ธโƒฃ ํŒ”
  • 9๏ธโƒฃ ๊ตฌ
  • ๐Ÿ”Ÿ ์‹ญ
๐Ÿ’ก Memorize 1โ€“10 cold. Every other Sino number is just a combination of these.

๐Ÿ—๏ธ Building Bigger Numbers โ€” Place Values

Sino-Korean stacks place values like LEGO bricks:
  • ๐Ÿ”Ÿ ์‹ญ = 10
  • ๐Ÿ’ฏ ๋ฐฑ = 100
  • ๐ŸŸ๏ธ ์ฒœ = 1,000
  • ๐Ÿ›๏ธ ๋งŒ = 10,000
  • ๐ŸŒŒ ์–ต = 100,000,000 (one hundred million)
  • ๐ŸŒ  ์กฐ = 1,000,000,000,000 (one trillion)
โš ๏ธ Korean groups numbers by 10,000 (๋งŒ), not by 1,000 like English. This is the single most important thing to internalize.
Examples:
  • 11 = ์‹ญ์ผ (10 + 1)
  • 25 = ์ด์‹ญ์˜ค (2ร—10 + 5)
  • 99 = ๊ตฌ์‹ญ๊ตฌ
  • 100 = ๋ฐฑ
  • 365 = ์‚ผ๋ฐฑ์œก์‹ญ์˜ค
  • 1,000 = ์ฒœ
  • 9,999 = ๊ตฌ์ฒœ๊ตฌ๋ฐฑ๊ตฌ์‹ญ๊ตฌ
  • 10,000 = ๋งŒ (just ๋งŒ, not ์ผ๋งŒ in everyday speech)
  • 50,000 = ์˜ค๋งŒ
  • 100,000 = ์‹ญ๋งŒ
  • 1,000,000 = ๋ฐฑ๋งŒ
  • 10,000,000 = ์ฒœ๋งŒ
  • 100,000,000 = ์ผ์–ต
๐Ÿ’ก Quick parsing trick: When you see a big number, count digits from the right and split at every 4th digit (the ๋งŒ boundary), not every 3rd.
  • 1,234,567 in English = 1 million 234 thousand 567
  • 1,234,567 in Korean = ๋ฐฑ์ด์‹ญ์‚ผ๋งŒ ์‚ฌ์ฒœ์˜ค๋ฐฑ์œก์‹ญ์น  (123 ๋งŒ + 4,567)

๐Ÿ“… Dates โ€” ๋…„ / ์›” / ์ผ

Dates use Sino-Korean numbers + the counters ๋…„ (year), ์›” (month), ์ผ (day), written in big-to-small order (year โ†’ month โ†’ day):
  • ๐Ÿ“† 2026๋…„ = ์ด์ฒœ์ด์‹ญ์œก ๋…„
  • ๐Ÿ“† 1999๋…„ = ์ฒœ๊ตฌ๋ฐฑ๊ตฌ์‹ญ๊ตฌ ๋…„
  • ๐Ÿ“† 4์›” 29์ผ = ์‚ฌ ์›” ์ด์‹ญ๊ตฌ ์ผ (April 29th)
  • ๐Ÿ“† 2026๋…„ 4์›” 29์ผ = ์ด์ฒœ์ด์‹ญ์œก ๋…„ ์‚ฌ ์›” ์ด์‹ญ๊ตฌ ์ผ

๐Ÿšจ Two Month Irregulars (memorize these!)

  • โŒ ์œก์›” โ†’ โœ… ์œ ์›” (June โ€” ใ„ฑ batchim of ์œก drops)
  • โŒ ์‹ญ์›” โ†’ โœ… ์‹œ์›” (October โ€” ใ…‚ batchim of ์‹ญ drops)
All other months are regular: ์ผ์›”, ์ด์›”, ์‚ผ์›”, ์‚ฌ์›”, ์˜ค์›”, ์œ ์›”, ์น ์›”, ํŒ”์›”, ๊ตฌ์›”, ์‹œ์›”, ์‹ญ์ผ์›”, ์‹ญ์ด์›”.

๐Ÿ’ฐ Money โ€” ์›

Korean currency is ์› (won). Always Sino-Korean:
  • ๐Ÿ’ต 1,000์› = ์ฒœ ์›
  • ๐Ÿ’ต 5,000์› = ์˜ค์ฒœ ์›
  • ๐Ÿ’ต 10,000์› = ๋งŒ ์› (NOT ์ผ๋งŒ ์› in conversation)
  • ๐Ÿ’ต 50,000์› = ์˜ค๋งŒ ์›
  • ๐Ÿ’ต 100,000์› = ์‹ญ๋งŒ ์›
  • ๐Ÿ’ต 1,000,000์› = ๋ฐฑ๋งŒ ์›
  • ๐Ÿ’ต 13,500์› = ๋งŒ ์‚ผ์ฒœ์˜ค๋ฐฑ ์›
๐Ÿ’ก Real-life tip: When you hear "๋งŒ ์›" at a Korean store, that's ~$7 USD. "์‹ญ๋งŒ ์›" โ‰ˆ $70. "๋ฐฑ๋งŒ ์›" โ‰ˆ $700.

โฐ Minutes & Seconds โ€” ๋ถ„ / ์ดˆ

Minutes (๋ถ„) and seconds (์ดˆ) use Sino-Korean. Hours (์‹œ) use Native Korean โ€” we'll do that in the next lesson, but here's a preview so the time format makes sense:
  • โฐ 3:30 = ์„ธ ์‹œ ์‚ผ์‹ญ ๋ถ„ (Native ์„ธ + Sino ์‚ผ์‹ญ)
  • โฐ 5:45 = ๋‹ค์„ฏ ์‹œ ์‚ฌ์‹ญ์˜ค ๋ถ„
  • โฐ 12:00 = ์—ด๋‘ ์‹œ (no ๋ถ„ needed when on the hour)
  • โฑ๏ธ 30์ดˆ = ์‚ผ์‹ญ ์ดˆ
Mixed example: 7์‹œ 15๋ถ„ 30์ดˆ = ์ผ๊ณฑ ์‹œ ์‹ญ์˜ค ๋ถ„ ์‚ผ์‹ญ ์ดˆ

๐Ÿ“ž Phone Numbers, Floors, Rooms

  • ๐Ÿ“ž Phone numbers: Sino-Korean, with ๊ณต instead of ์˜ for zero. Read digit-by-digit.
    • 010-1234-5678 = ๊ณต์ผ๊ณต ์ผ์ด์‚ผ์‚ฌ ์˜ค์œก์น ํŒ”
  • ๐Ÿข Floors (์ธต): 3์ธต = ์‚ผ ์ธต, 10์ธต = ์‹ญ ์ธต
  • ๐Ÿจ Room numbers (ํ˜ธ): 502ํ˜ธ = ์˜ค๋ฐฑ์ด ํ˜ธ
  • ๐ŸšŒ Bus numbers: ๋ฒ„์Šค 271๋ฒˆ = ์ด๋ฐฑ์น ์‹ญ์ผ ๋ฒˆ

๐Ÿงฎ Math, Measurements, Misc.

Sino-Korean shows up everywhere "measured" or formal:
  • ๐Ÿงฎ 1 + 2 = 3 โ†’ ์ผ ๋”ํ•˜๊ธฐ ์ด๋Š” ์‚ผ
  • ๐Ÿ“ 5cm = ์˜ค ์„ผํ‹ฐ๋ฏธํ„ฐ / 10kg = ์‹ญ ํ‚ฌ๋กœ๊ทธ๋žจ
  • ๐ŸŒก๏ธ 25ยฐC = ์ด์‹ญ์˜ค ๋„
  • ๐Ÿ“… Centuries: 21์„ธ๊ธฐ = ์ด์‹ญ์ผ ์„ธ๊ธฐ
  • ๐Ÿ“š Pages: 100ํŽ˜์ด์ง€ = ๋ฐฑ ํŽ˜์ด์ง€
  • ๐Ÿ“Š Percentages: 50% = ์˜ค์‹ญ ํผ์„ผํŠธ

๐Ÿšซ When NOT to Use Sino-Korean

Sino-Korean is wrong in three big places:
  • โŒ Hours of the clock โ†’ use Native Korean: ํ•œ ์‹œ, ๋‘ ์‹œ, ์„ธ ์‹œ
  • โŒ Counting items โ†’ "three apples" uses Native Korean: ์‚ฌ๊ณผ ์„ธ ๊ฐœ
  • โŒ Ages in casual speech โ†’ "I'm 25" โ†’ ์Šค๋ฌผ๋‹ค์„ฏ ์‚ด (Native), not ์ด์‹ญ์˜ค ์‚ด. (Formal/legal contexts do use ๋งŒ 25์„ธ, but casual speech is Native.)
We'll cover all three uses in detail in the Native Korean Numbers lesson. For now: when in doubt about hours, ages, or counting items โ€” pause before defaulting to Sino-Korean.

๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ท Why This Matters

Sino-Korean numbers come from Chinese characters (ํ•œ์ž) and entered Korean over a thousand years ago. They cover the measured, formal, technical side of life โ€” exactly the side where you'll need them most as a learner: ordering coffee (๊ฐ€๊ฒฉ / price), catching a train (์‹œ๊ฐ„ / time-of-day in minutes), checking dates on a Korean calendar, and reading street addresses. Per korean.go.kr (the National Institute of Korean Language), Sino-Korean numbers are taught alongside Native Korean numbers as the foundational dual system every learner must master. Get fluent with Sino first because it covers ~70% of real-world number situations.

โš ๏ธ Pitfalls

  • โŒ ์œก์›” (saying "6์›”" the regular way)
  • โœ… ์œ ์›” (June drops the ใ„ฑ)
  • โŒ ์‹ญ์›” (saying "10์›”" the regular way)
  • โœ… ์‹œ์›” (October drops the ใ…‚)
  • โŒ ์˜์ผ์˜ in a phone number
  • โœ… ๊ณต์ผ๊ณต (use ๊ณต, not ์˜, for phone-number zeros)
  • โŒ ์ด์‹ญ์˜ค ์‹œ (using Sino-Korean for the hour)
  • โœ… ๋‹ค์„ฏ ์‹œ (hours are Native Korean)
  • โŒ ์ผ๋งŒ ์› in casual speech
  • โœ… ๋งŒ ์› (drop "์ผ" before ๋งŒ in everyday speech)
  • โŒ Grouping in thousands when reading big numbers
  • โœ… Group in ๋งŒ (10,000s) โ€” Korean's natural unit boundary

๐ŸŽ‰ You did it!

You now own the Sino-Korean number system: digits 1โ€“10, place values up to ์กฐ, dates with ๋…„/์›”/์ผ (and the ์œ ์›”/์‹œ์›” traps), money in ์›, minutes/seconds, phone numbers, floors, and the rule for when NOT to use Sino. ์ •๋ง ์ž˜ํ–ˆ์–ด์š”! ํ™”์ดํŒ…! ๐Ÿš€
