Question

How do I say "thousand" and "hundred" in Korean?

Community Answer

Thousand = 천 (Cheon), and Hundred = 백 (Baek). So, for example, if you wanted to say five thousand, you would say 오천 (Oh cheon), and if you wanted to say five hundred, you would say 오백 (Oh baek).

How can I memorize Korean words quickly?

Community Answer

Immerse yourself in the language. You can watch Korean TV and movies, listen to Korean radio and read Korean books and magazines while speaking Korean. This should help you retain what you learned.

Question

How do I say 15 in Korean?

Community Answer

Yul (10) Dauset (5) = 15, so you would pronounce it yuldauset. This is because from numbers 11-19 you use the Korean word for ten and the unit.

Question

What does "hana" mean in Korean?

Community Answer

"Hana" means "one" when you are counting. For example, if you want your friend to help you on your homework but she is immersed in playing games on her phone, you would say "You have three seconds to finish your game! Hana...dul...set!", which translates to "one, two, three!"

Question

For ages above 60, do I use the Korean system or Sino-Korean?

Community Answer

You can use both. If you use the Hangul system for the number 60, it will be 육십 (yook ship). If you use Sino-Korean, it will be 예순 (yeh soon). Age in Korean is 살 (sal). However, it is more common to use Sino-Korean and say 예순 살 (yeh soon sal) if you want to say 60 years old.

Question

How does the Korean age system work?

Community Answer

When you are born, you're automatically 1. New years, you turn a year older. For example, internationally, a person would be 23, but in Korea they'd be 25.

Question

How do I say the floor I want to go to in an elevator in Korean?

Audrey Lee

Community Answer

Say the number in the Chinese system (eel, ee, sam...) and add 'cheung'. So 'eel-cheung' is first floor, 'ee-cheung' means second floor, and so on.

Question

What is the best app for learning the Korean language?

Community Answer

There is not one "best" app for learning languages, as that is a matter of opinion, but Duolingo is one of the most popular options. If you have a mobile device, there are countless different apps, and most of them are free and easy to use.
