Korean Numbers and Their Uses

You have started learning Korean and your first priority will be to learn Korean numbers. There is no single number system in Korean, as we know in Turkish. There are two different number systems in Korean. These systems are: Sino-Korean and Pure Korean. These two systems are used in different places in daily life, while shopping or telling the time.

 

Korean Numbers and Their Uses

As Sculin.com, in our blog post, we will improve your Korean language skills by sharing how Korean numbers are written, read and used. Let's get started!

 

What is Sino Korean?

Sino-Korean is the Korean version of words of Chinese origin. Since Korea has been in cultural and linguistic interaction with China throughout history, many words have passed from Chinese to Korean.
