Counting in Korean

  • In Korean there are two spoken ways to describe numbers:

  • Hangul – Native Korean numbers
  • Hanja – Sino (Chinese)-Korean
  • Hanja is the Korean name for Chinese characters borrowed from Chinese and incorporated into the Korean language with Korean pronunciation. Although a phonetic Korean alphabet, now known as Hangul, had been created by a team of scholars commissioned in the 1440s by King Sejong the Great, it did not come into widespread use until the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
  • Sino-Korean numbers are numbers that are based on the Chinese language so if you speak Chinese, you will find that spoken Sino-Korean numbers are quite similar.
