Module 10- How much is this?
Note 1: Korean shop assistants typically use formal/honorific forms when speaking to customers. Customers
will generally speak to shop assistants in less formal - though still polite - forms.
Note 2: The highest valued Korean note is 50,000 won and the lowest is 1,000 won. Coins range from 1 won to
500 won. However, 1 won and 5 won coins are very rarely used – the more widely used ones are 10 won, 50
won, 100 won and 500 won coins.
Further information on current Korean currency can be found at the following web address:

1) +{이에요/예요} (am/are/is)
In Module 2 you have learned +{이에요/예요} to say ‘A is B’ when B is a noun and not an adjective.
Remember that this ending must be added to the end of a noun, pronoun or a ‘wh- question’ word (e.g what,
why, when).
Noun+{이}야 (casual)
Noun+{이에요/예요} (polite)
Noun+{이}세요 (honorific)
Rules:
• If the noun ends in a consonant: +이에요
2) 아니에요
If you want to say that ‘A is not B’, then you use 아니에요.
FINAL-MODULE- 10 4
Module 10- How much is this?
In this case, however, we do not write it as an ending attached to the noun, but
as a separate word, with a space before it:
Examples:
(1) A: 저 사람 한국 사람이에요? Is s/he Korean (Lit. Is that person a Korean person)?
(5) A: 남동생이 몇 학년이에요? What year of school is your younger brother in?
(7) A: 여기가 어디예요? Where are we? (Lit. Where is this place?)

얼마 ‘How much?’
You have learned the meaning of 몇 – ‘how many’, or ‘what’ when used with counting nouns, such as
time/age/floor etc. – in Unit 6. Now we will look at the word 얼마, which has a similar meaning, but different
usage.
얼마 is also used for numerical quantities but unlike 몇, 얼마 is not used before nouns. For example, 몇
can be used as follows:
(1) 몇 시예요? What time is it?
(4) 하루에 커피 몇 잔 마셔요? How many cups of coffee do you drink in a day?
Note that there is no noun after 얼마, but simply the verb, ‘is’. This construction can always be equated to
‘How much is…?’ In the simple form above, it is used to ask the price of something, but the word ‘price’ is not
used in the sentence. Therefore, when asking about prices, always use 얼마, and for now, use 몇 for asking
about all other quantities or amounts.

Sino-Korean Numbers
Sino-Korean numbers are used in cases where numbers are more abstract. As such, they are used for dates,
telephone numbers, bus numbers, amounts of money including prices, minutes when telling the time, room
numbers, floors of a building, measurements of weight, height, and so on.

Module 10- How much is this?
Note: Koreans typically express the first four (or three) digits of a phone number as one number, followed by
국에, and then the last four digits as another number, before finally adding 번. However, Koreans are
increasingly expressing phone numbers as a series of digits, as in English. That is, more Koreans these days
tend to say, 구공일에 이공공오, without the 국 and 번.
More examples:
(1) A: 이거 얼마예요? How much is this?
(2) A: 신입사원 월급이* 얼마나 돼요? How much is the starting salary (Lit. salary for new
employees)?
B: 삼백만 원이에요. 3,000,000 won (per month).
(5) A: 한국어 공부 얼마나 했어? How long have you been studying Korean?

(6) A: 이거 배달 좀 해 주세요. Could you deliver this for me, please?
a vowel you use +가. In spoken Korean, the subject particle is sometimes
omitted.
Note that it is important to remember for which items you use pure Korean
numbers and in which cases you must use Sino-Korean numbers. Eventually
you should not have to think about which number system to use. Normally,
numbers are written using digits and not spelled out in Hangul. So when a
number is written as, for example, 24, you need to know whether to read it as
스물넷 (pure Korean number) or as 이십사 (sino-Korean number).

Telling the Time: # minutes
You have learnt that Pure Korean numbers and Sino-Korean numbers are used for different things. When
telling the time, both sets of numbers have to be used. You have learnt how to say 1 o’clock, 2 o’clock, etc.,
with Pure Korean numbers. Now that we have introduced Sino-Korean numbers, the way to specify the minutes
of the time will be explained.
Sino Korean numbers are used for the minutes of the time:
세 시 십오 분 3:15
To say a specific time, including how many minutes “past”, simply add the number of minutes followed by the
word 분 (minutes) after the hour, so literally you are saying, “three o’clock and fifteen minutes”.
Examples:
(1) A: 지금 몇 시예요? What’s the time now?
(2) A: 수업 언제 끝나?* When do you finish class (Lit. When does class finish)?
Task 8: Listening
☞ You are going to hear more dialogues on the time. For example, “지금 몇 시예요?”, “12 시 30 분요.”
Write down the time that you hear in Korean. Ready? Listen!

Module 10- How much is this?
깎아 주세요 [깎 cut; reduce +아 주세요 Please do something for me] please give me a
discount (Lit. please reduce the price)
그러면 then; in that case
+만 only; just
세 개 three units
Note 1: Older male shopkeepers are usually addressed as 아저씨. Older female shopkeepers are addressed as
아줌마 (or 아주머니, which sounds a bit more polite). These days, especially in restaurants, you will also
hear people say 이모 (literally your mother’s sister, i.e. your aunt) instead of 아줌마. Younger female
shopkeepers are often called 언니 by females, which literally means ‘older sister’. However, they are hardly
ever called 누나 by males, which also means older sister but to a male. Males will simply call out "여기요"
(literally Over here!) or “저기요 (Excuse me)” if they need to catch a young female staff member’s attention.
However, if you feel confused about how to address people at a shop or a restaurant, you can always quite
safely use “여기요” or “저기요” (equivalent to the general expression, “Excuse me” in English).
Note 2: When ordering something in a shop in English, we often use a phrase such as ‘Can I please have …?’.
The equivalent expression in Korean is ‘... 주세요’, which literally means ‘Please give me ...’
When we are using numbers, we often want to specify a price or an amount in terms of another quantity. (For
example $10 per kilo, 2000 calories per person, 3 times per week, lemons are $2 for 3.) To do this in Korean,
add the particle +에 to the unit of measurement (the quantity which comes after ‘per’ in English).

(Note: 600g (육백 그램) is often used (rather than 1 kilogram or 500 grams) for meat because it approximates
an old Korean measure for weighing meat.)

(2) 가게 주인: 이 사과도 드릴까요? Would you like these apples as well? (Lit. Shall I give you
these apples, too?)

주인: 팔만 원만 주세요. Make it 80,000 won. (Lit. Give me just 80,000 won).

connotation.
