How to use Korean Numbers
Using counters and numbers for ordering
By knowing just the first number, you can now order something and properly indicate how many of that item you want! This will help tremendously with learning Korean since it will get you talking.
Need a caffeine boost? Head to the nearest coffee shop, walk up to the barista, and say:
“아이스 아메리카노 하나 주세요 (aiseu amerikano hana juseyo).” - Please give me one iced Americano.
If you’re a latte drinker, it doesn’t matter! Order your favorite drink, and add in the number (eg.,하나 - hana) afterward to indicate how many you want.
₩ >Korean won – 원
The Korean won comes in 10 000 won increments, and although 50 000 won bills also exist, 10 000 won (만 원 - man won) bills are by far the most commonly used.
Mastering the numbers in Korean requires a little more effort than in most other languages.
Forming the numbers isn’t so difficult, but learning all the different ways of using them requires a little more practice
