From the last lesson on

how to say 121 in Korean using
the China System.

How about 3121?

First, we have 121.
100 (백) + 20 (이십) + 1 (일) =

Module 1 Week 10 11 Lessons | 1 Quiz 121 (백이십일)
Module 1 Week… 11 Lessons | 2 Quizzes Next, we need to add the 3000

(삼천).
3000 (3천) 100 (백) + 20 (이십)

Great work! As you can see,
5 – Verb: To Have or To Exist you also just skip over the
hundreds digit if it is absent.
7 – Special Pronunciation: Badchim After that, the next significant

number is ten thousand.
Actually, this number is very
9 – FridgeLingo
significant in Korean culture.
10 – HouseLingo As you may know, the Korean

currency is called the won.
12 – To the Summit M1W5 ₩ Korean won 원
Module 1 Week 6 10 Lessons | 1 Quiz The Korean won comes in 10

000 won increments, and
although 50 000 won bills also
exist, 10 000 won (만 원) bills
are by far the most commonly
Module 1 Week 9 8 Lessons | 1 Quiz used.

Here is the Korean word for ten
thousand:

10 000 만
2 – Numbers: The China System 100… Let’s attempt to write some

numbers you may possibly hear
as the total when making a

pattern we’ve been using, but

“won” (원) at the end to indicate
we’re talking about currency.

8 – Questions: Using Who, What, Wh… Notice that when it’s one

thousand, you don’t need to say
10 – HouseLingo “one” in front of the number. In
other words, one hundred won
in Korean is 백 원 not “일백 원.”
12 – To the Summit M1W5 Likewise, ten thousand won is
만 원 not “일만 원.”
The tricky part is going above

ten thousand.

The higher numbers in Korean

system, we use thousands: one
hundred thousand, ten
thousand, and so on. But in
2 – Numbers: The China System 100… Korean, they use ten thousand
as the base.
4 – Yes & No: The Basics This makes things tricky for
native English speakers and
Koreans alike to translate

higher numbers quickly
between the two languages.
But equipped with the right
80/20 knowledge, you can do it
easily!
9 – FridgeLingo
As English uses one thousand

10 – HouseLingo
as the base number, we call the
11 – Challenges M1W5 number 100 000 “one hundred
thousand.”

In Korean using 10 000 units as
a base, we’d call it “ten (십) ten
Module 1 Week 7 11 Lessons | 3 Quizzes thousand (만).” Makes sense, it’s
10 ten thousand units.

100 000 십만
A million would therefore be

“one hundred (백) ten thousand
Module 1 Week… 10 Lessons | 3 Quizzes (만)” 

since it’sTake
100Notes
ten thousand
units.
2 – Numbers: The China System 100… 1 000 000 백만

Adding another zero would

make it “1000 ten thousand

units.”
10 000 000 천만

The key is to count the zeros.
9 – FridgeLingo
Since we are using increments

10 – HouseLingo
of 10 000, we know there are
always four zeros at minimum.
Everything in front of the four
zeros is the number we add in
front of “만.”

For example, for 10 000 000,
we can take out the four zeros
Module 1 Week 8 11 Lessons | 2 Quizzes first since we know that
indicates “ten thousand (만).”
Let’s do that now:

10 000 000
Then, we look at the number

this case, it’s

10 – HouseLingo Notice that when it is not a

still applies. Take out four digits

the number was round, then
start with the number left over
on the left-hand side. Add “만”,
and then finally write the
Module 1 Week 8 11 Lessons | 2 Quizzes remaining numbers.
Module 1 Week 9 8 Lessons | 1 Quiz The final number you’ll learn is

the number for 100 000 000
(one hundred million). It has a
special name in Korean and
becomes the new base
increment as the numbers get
higher than one hundred
million. It is called 억.
100 000 000 일억

Just notice that in this case, one
hundred million is written with
6 – Location Words: In & At “일” in front of it (unlike the
numbers for one hundred, one
thousand, or ten thousand).
Instead of taking out four zeros

9 – FridgeLingo
in this case, you’d just take out
10 – HouseLingo eight zeros, then write the
number left over in front of “억.”
12 – To the Summit M1W5 For example, you could write

one billion:

1 000 000 000 십억
With another zero, it would

become 백억. Add one more
and it’s 천억. That’s 100 000
