Korean Hours Practice
Native numbers + 시 (한 시, 두 시, 열두 시)
How to say clock hours in Korean
Clock hours use native Korean number forms with 시: 한 시, 두 시, 세 시, 네 시. The shortened counter forms are important, so use 한/두/세/네 rather than 하나/둘/셋/넷 directly before 시.
Minutes work differently: they use Sino-Korean + 분. Keep the systems separate until the hour pattern feels automatic.
