The Date in Korean


WATCH: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjKyVx5J_CA
This lesson is on how to say the date in Korean. For this lesson you will need to know your Sino Korean numbers.
To say the date in Korean we first say the year and add the word 년(nyeon) to the end. 년(nyeon) is a counter. If you know what a counter is, then great! If you don't you can still understand this lesson & a video on counters is here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RiNggsXAhw&t=16s who are curious.
Example:
2018년
i-cheon-ship-pal-nyeon

Then we say the month. The months are just numbers with the word 월(wol) at the end EXCEPT FOR June 유월 and Oct 시월
Example:
December
12월

and thirdly, we say the day, which, no surprise, is represented by a number and it has the word 일(il) at the end.
일(il) is a word with multiple translations: it is the counter for day, and it is sino Korean 1, it also means tooth.
The fact that it means one and day means that on the first of the month you say it is 일일 il-il. If it is January 1st you say
일월 일일
il-wol il-il

if it is Jan 1st, 1001
일천일년 일월 일일
il-cheon-il nyeon il-wol il-il
so many eels! or ills...

and then the last thing you add to the date is the day of the week. And they also end in il. yo-il more specifically
Mon 월요일
Tues 화요일
Wed 수요일
Thur 목요일
Fri 금요일
Sat 토요일
Sun 일요일
So just for fun lets say Sunday, Jan. 1, 1001
일천일년 일월 일일 일요일
il-cheon-il nyeon il-wol il-il il-yo-il
I wonder if that actually was a Sunday...
These days of the week might be hard to memorize... so I found a song

Now let's do some practice. How do we say
Monday, Dec. 31 2018?
every date looks like this:
___년 __월 __일 __요일
and then we fill in the blanks
2018년 12월 31일 월요일
and remember how to say our Sino Korean numbers
이천십팔년 십이월 삼십일일 월요일
that's how you say the date in Korean.
Have some more practice.

Thanks for studying with me.
