Native Korean numbers from 1 to 100 and pronunciation
Korean numbers have two numeral systems:
native Korean numbers and Sino-Korean numbers. The list provided above consists
of native Korean numbers from 1 to 100. These numbers are commonly used for
counting objects, age, and informal speech, while Sino-Korean numbers are used
for dates, money, phone numbers, and formal settings.
Native Korean numbers follow a consistent
pattern up to 99. The basic numbers from 1 to 10 are unique words: hana (1),
dul (2), set (3), net (4), daseot (5), yeoseot (6), ilgop (7), yeodeol (8),
ahop (9), yeol (10). From 11 onward, numbers are formed by combining “yeol”
(ten) with the corresponding digit, such as yeol-hana (11) and yeol-dul
(12).
For tens, the numbers are distinct: seumul
(20), seoreun (30), maheun (40), swin (50), yesun (60), ilheun (70), yeodeun
(80), aheun (90). They follow a simple pattern where numbers beyond these
are formed by adding the corresponding unit digit, e.g., seumul-hana (21)
or maheun-dul (42).
- 하나 (hana)
- 둘 (dul)
- 셋 (set)
- 넷 (net)
- 다섯 (daseot)
- 여섯 (yeoseot)
- 일곱 (ilgop)
- 여덟 (yeodeol)
- 아홉 (ahop)
- 열 (yeol)
The word for 100 in native Korean is baek,
but native Korean numbers rarely go beyond 99. Instead, Sino-Korean numbers are
used. The native Korean system is often taught to beginners because it is
essential for daily conversation, especially for counting small items, stating
age, and measuring time in hours.
