Native vs Sino-Korean numbers
Practice hookCounters toolBuild number + counter chunks in the free drill.Open →Förklaring
Sino-Korean (일, 이, 삼…) comes from Chinese numerals and is used for dates, money, phone numbers, minutes, and most counting with counters in formal contexts.
Native Korean (하나, 둘, 셋… / 한, 두, 세… before counters) is used for hours (time of day), age in casual speech, and some counters.
Rule of thumb: money, phone, dates → Sino. Clock hours → native. Always learn both sets.
