Native Korean Numbering System

This lesson is on the Native Korean numbering system. Korean has two numbering systems: the Native Korean, also called Pure Korean, and the Sino-Korean. Each numbering system is used in different situations as shown in the chart below. Notably, both systems can be used when reporting a person's age.

Let's get into it.
In the Native Korean numbering system
1 is 하나 ha-na
2 is 둘 dul
3 is 셋 set remember an ㅅ in the batchim sounds like "T"
4 is 넷 net
5 is 다섯 da-seot
6 is 여섯 yeo-seot
7 is 일곱 il-gop remember a ㅂ in the batchim sounds like "P"
8 is 여덟 yeo-deol remember when we have two letters in the batchim the last letter goes silent. Unless we have the combination ㄹ with ㅁ, ㅍ, or ㄱ.
9 is 아홉 a-hop
10 is 열 yeol
Let's count them again and then I will tell you a story to help you remember these numbers more easily.

It was a little harder coming up with a story for this numbering system than it was for the Sino-Korean system. But, it's an original story this time, not one I ripped off of someone else.
It starts off with this person named Hana and you want to challenge her to a duel. This is not a regular duel with pistols or swords. This is a badminton duel! Before you begin you have to set the net. Then, just as you're about to start the badminton duel, a chimney sweep runs in! He is followed by a big cloud of grey-black soot.
You yell "da soot! your soot!"
Then you feel ill and you cough, which sounds like "gop! gop!"
You've got a weird cough. You feel ill and you "gop". ill "gop" .
Then, to make things even worse, the chimney sweep starts to yodel! At this point you want that chimney sweep gone, and so you say.
"I hope you'll leave"
Let's go over that one more time.

Hana! Dul! Set net. Daseot! Yeoseot! ilgop! Yeodeol! Ahop yeol (leave).
Remember that "leave" isn't actually a number.
I hope you find this story helpful, or at very least difficult to forget.

Moving on to eleven. In Pure Korean eleven is ten one:
yeol-hana 열하나
This is similar to the pattern in Sino Korean.
Twelve is ten two.
yeol-dul 열둘
Thirteen is ten three
yeol-set 열셋
14 yeol-net 열넷
15 yeol-daseot 열다섯
You get the idea.

But, unlike sino Korean, in Native Korean we have to learn new words for numbers 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, and 90. Let's learn them.
20 is 스물 seu-mul
30 is 서른 seo-reun
40 is 마흔 ma-heun
50 is 쉰 shwin
60 is 예순 ye-sun
70 is 일흔 il-heun
80 is 여든 yeo-deun
90 is 아흔 a-heun
I don't have a story to help you out here, but take a look at this.
70 is il-heun, and 7 is il-gop.
80 is yeo-deun, and 8 is yeo-deol.
90 is a-heun, and 9 is a-hop.
Do you see how the first syllable is the same? This should make the memorization just a little bit easier.

In Native Korean numbers you can make numbers like 21, 22, 23, 24,... the same way we do in English.
You say twenty, then you say one
seu-mul hana 스물하나
twenty two is twenty, then two
seu-mul dul 스물둘
23
seu-mul set 스물셋
24
seu-mul net 스물넷

The same procedure is used for all the numbers in the 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s

The Native Korean numbering system rarely uses numbers over 100. For those you use the Sino Korean numbering system.
But, if you really want to know what 100 is
 it's "on" 온

I hope you found this helpful. Here are some numbers for you to practice saying in Pure Korean.

When you can recite a list of numbers in Pure Korean you'll know you're getting the hang of it. Thanks for studying with me.
