Numbers
Korean has two sets of numbers, namely native Korean numbers and Sino-Korean
numbers (which are borrowed from Chinese). Both come in handy, but in a pinch the
Sino-Korean series is more important to learn.

Sino-Korean Numbers

Sino-Korean numbers are used for amounts of currency, telephone numbers, the 24-
hour clock and counting minutes. Remember that sip is pronounced "ship".

Native Korean Numbers

Native Korean numbers are used for hours and with counting words. There are a
plethora of these, but the most useful ones are bun ( ) for people, jang ( ) for
papers including tickets, and gae ( ) for pretty much anything else (which is not
always strictly correct, but will usually be understood). Note that for numbers
1,2,3,4,and 20 + 'counting words',the last letter is dropped: one person is hanbun, two
tickets is tujang , three things is segae, four things is negae, twenty things is
seumugae.
