There are two types of numbers used in Korea. Sino and Native.

Both are used daily, in things like time, placement, and quantity

and more but for today, we'll only be looking at Sino-Korean.

Quick history lesson!

Sino-Korean numbers originate from Chinese charaters.

What's the difference between the two different systems of numbers?

The Sino-Korean numeral system is more ancient and is used to count money, measurements, names of the month, phone numbers, countining time (not hours!) and for a number higher than 100.

This system is also more well-known worldwide.

*NOTE:

Just like in Native Korean numbers, in Sino Korean numbers, when a number extends passed 10, you can just put 십 followed the number.

EX:

십일                                                          십이

 (ship-il)                                                                                       (ship-i)

eleven                                                                                        twelve

Listen                                                                                      Listen

**NOTE: 

The numerals actually representing the korean numbers are the same with the Arabic numerals: 1, 2, 3.. etc. Hope this doesn't confuse you ^_^
