Today we will learn numbers.

In Korean, there are two kinds of numbers.

Sino-Korean numbers & Native Korean numbers!

When we talk about age, we often use Native Korean numbers.

Today we will learn Native Korean numbers.

Big numbers (10, 20, 30 …) in Korean

From 100 and above, Sino-Korean numbers are used.

We make numbers like this: big number + small number.

Let’s do it together.

πŸ‘‰ 숫자 μ“°κΈ° (How to Form Numbers)

큰 수 + μž‘μ€ 수 = 숫자
Big Number + Small Number = Final Number

  • μ—΄ (10) + 일곱 (7) = 열일곱 (17)
  • 슀물 (20) + ν•˜λ‚˜ (1) = μŠ€λ¬Όν•˜λ‚˜ (21)
  • μ„œλ₯Έ (30) + λ‹€μ„― (5) = μ„œλ₯Έλ‹€μ„― (35)
  • λ§ˆν” (40) + 아홉 (9) = λ§ˆν”μ•„ν™‰ (49)

One more to remember!

20 (슀물).

When “-sal” comes, 슀물 → 슀무 μ‚΄.

🟠 μΆ”κ°€ 팁 (Extra Tip) : "-μ„Έ", Formal Age

πŸ‘‰ λ‚˜μ΄λ₯Ό 말할 λ•ŒλŠ” 보톡 “-μ‚΄”을 μ¨μš”.

그런데, “-μ„Έ”도 μžˆμ–΄μš”.

“-μ„Έ”λŠ” ν•œμžμ–΄ μˆ«μžμ™€ 같이 μ¨μš”.

πŸ‘‰ ν•œμžμ–΄ 숫자 + μ„Έ

Usually we use “-μ‚΄l” for age.

But there is also “-μ„Έ”.

“-μ„Έ” is used with Sino-Korean numbers.

πŸ‘‰ Sino-Korean number + μ„Έ.


예λ₯Ό λ“€μ–΄λ³Όκ²Œμš”.

Examples:

  • μŠ€λ¬Όν•œ μ‚΄(21 years old) → 21μ„Έ (이십일 μ„Έ)
  • μ„œλ₯Έ μ‚΄(30 years old) → 30μ„Έ(μ‚Όμ‹­ μ„Έ)


“-μ„Έ”λŠ” 쑰금 더 정식(formal) ν‘œν˜„μ΄μ—μš”.

곡식 λ¬Έμ„œ, 병원, λ‰΄μŠ€μ—μ„œ 자주 μ¨μš”.

“-μ„Έ” is a more formal expression.

You see it in official documents, hospitals, or news.


πŸ”΅ λ¬Έν™” 팁 (Cultural Tip) — Age in Korea

μ—¬λŸ¬λΆ„, ν•œκ΅­μ—μ„œλŠ” λ‚˜μ΄κ°€ μ€‘μš”ν•΄μš”.

λ‚˜μ™€ λ‚˜μ΄κ°€ κ°™κ±°λ‚˜ 어리면, 보톡 λ°˜λ§μ„ μ¨μš”.

κ·Έλž˜μ„œ 처음 λ§Œλ‚  λ•Œ “λͺ‡ μ‚΄μ΄μ—μš”?” ν•˜κ³  λ¬Όμ–΄λ΄μš”.

In Korea, age is important.

Why? πŸ‘‰ Because of polite speech and casual speech.

If someone is older than me → usually I use polite speech.

If someone is the same age or younger → usually I use casual speech.

That’s why people ask “How old are you?” when first meeting.


그런데, λ‹¨μˆœνžˆ μ„œμ—΄ μ •λ¦¬λ§Œ ν•˜λ €λŠ” 게 μ•„λ‹ˆμ—μš”.

μƒλŒ€λ°©μ—κ²Œ μ–΄λ–€ 말을 써야 ν•˜λŠ”μ§€ μ•ŒκΈ° μœ„ν•΄μ„œμ˜ˆμš”.

πŸ‘‰ 예의 λ°”λ₯Έ λŒ€ν™”λ₯Ό ν•˜κΈ° μœ„ν•΄μ„œμ˜ˆμš”.

But it’s not only for hierarchy.It is to know how to speak politely.

To have polite conversation.


또 ν•˜λ‚˜ μž¬λ―ΈμžˆλŠ” 사싀이 μžˆμ–΄μš”.

μ˜ˆμ „μ—λŠ” “ν•œκ΅­ λ‚˜μ΄”κ°€ μžˆμ—ˆμ–΄μš”. (생물학적 λ‚˜μ΄μ™€ ν•œκ΅­ λ‚˜μ΄κ°€ λ‹¬λžμ–΄μš”.)

One more fun fact.

Before, Korea had “Korean age”.

  • μ•„κΈ°κ°€ νƒœμ–΄λ‚˜λ©΄ λ°”λ‘œ 1μ‚΄. (When a baby was born → already 1 year old.)
  • 그리고 μƒˆν•΄κ°€ 되면 ν•œ 살을 더 λ¨Ήμ—ˆμ–΄μš”. (When New Year came → add 1 more year.)

κ·Έλž˜μ„œ ν•œκ΅­ λ‚˜μ΄λŠ” λ‹€λ₯Έ λ‚˜λΌ λ‚˜μ΄λ³΄λ‹€ 보톡 1~2μ‚΄ λ§Žμ•˜μ–΄μš”.

ν•˜μ§€λ§Œ μ΄μ œλŠ” λ‹¬λΌμ‘Œμ–΄μš”.

πŸ‘‰ μ§€κΈˆμ€ λͺ¨λ‘ 생일이 μ§€λ‚˜λ©΄ ν•œ μ‚΄ 더 λ¨ΉλŠ” “만 λ‚˜μ΄”만 μ‚¬μš©ν•΄μš”.

So Korean age was usually 1–2 years older than international age.

But now it is different.

Now everyone uses only "만 λ‚˜μ΄( = real birthday age)."


μ—¬λŸ¬λΆ„, 이제 μ•Œμ•˜μ£ ?

ν•œκ΅­μ—μ„œ λ‚˜μ΄κ°€ μ™œ μ€‘μš”ν•œμ§€ μ•Œμ•˜μœΌλ‹ˆκΉŒ,

πŸ‘‰ ν•œκ΅­ μ‚¬λžŒλ“€μ΄ λ‚˜μ΄λ₯Ό 물어봐도 이젠 λ‹Ήν™©ν•˜μ§€ λ§ˆμ„Έμš”! πŸ˜‰

So now you know!

Age is important in Korea.

So, when Koreans ask your age, don’t be surprised anymore!
