Before going through this post, make sure you know how to count from 0 to 10 in Korean!

You will have to learn both the Native Korean and Sino-Korean numbering systems up to the number 100, since both systems are used up to this number. Let's get started!

11 to 100 in the Native Korean Numbering System

11 β†’ Yeol-hana (μ—΄ν•˜λ‚˜)

10 in the Native Korean numbering system is Yeol (μ—΄), so from the numbers 11 to 19, you will just have to add the numbers -1 to -9 to it.

e.g. Yeol (μ—΄) + hana (ν•˜λ‚˜) = Yeol-hana (μ—΄ν•˜λ‚˜)

Also remember, you would have to "drop the last letter" in numbers ending with -1, -2, -3, -4 as well as the number 20 in the Native Korean numbering system when pairing it with a count noun. So that means, numbers like 11, 12, 13, 14, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 31, 32, 33, 34, and so on will result in a pattern like this:

e.g. Yeol-hana (μ—΄ν•˜λ‚˜) + sal (μ‚΄) = Yeol-han sal (μ—΄ν•œμ‚΄) β€˜Eleven years old’

Review this concept more in the previous lesson:

12 β†’ Yeol-dul (μ—΄λ‘˜)

13 β†’ Yeol-set (μ—΄μ…‹)

14 β†’ Yeol-net (μ—΄λ„·)

15 β†’ Yeol-daseot (μ—΄λ‹€μ„―)

16 β†’ Yeol-yeoseot (μ—΄μ—¬μ„―)

17 β†’ Yeol-ilgop (열일곱)

18 β†’ Yeol-yeodeol (μ—΄μ—¬λŸ)

19 β†’ Yeol-ahop (열아홉)

20 β†’ Seumeul (슀물)

30 β†’ Seoreun (μ„œλ₯Έ)

40 β†’ Maheun (λ§ˆν”)

50 β†’ Swin (μ‰°)

60 β†’ Yesun (예순)

70 β†’ Ilheun (일흔)

80 β†’ Yeodeun (μ—¬λ“ )

90 β†’ Aheun (아흔)

100 β†’ On (온)

11 to 100 in the Sino-Korean Numbering System

11 β†’ Sip-il (십일)

When counting from 11 to 100 in the Sino-Korean numbering system, the mechanism is similar to the Native Korean one. Simply add the numbers -1 to -9 to it. 10 in the Sino-Korean numbering system is Sip (μ‹­), so eleven is simply:

e.g. Sip (μ‹­) + il (일) = Sip-il (십일)

12 β†’ Sip-i (십이)

13 β†’ Sip-sam (μ‹­μ‚Ό)

14 β†’ Sip-sa (십사)

15 β†’ Sip-o (μ‹­μ˜€)

16 β†’ Sip-yuk (μ‹­μœ‘)

17 β†’ Sip-chil (μ‹­μΉ )

18 β†’ Sip-pal (μ‹­νŒ”)

19 β†’ Sip-gu (십ꡬ)

20 β†’ I-ship (이십)

30 β†’ Sam-sip (μ‚Όμ‹­)

40 β†’ Sa-sip (사십)

50 β†’ O-sip (μ˜€μ‹­)

60 β†’ Yuk-sip (μœ‘μ‹­)

70 β†’ Chil-ship (μΉ μ‹­)

80 β†’ Pal-sip (νŒ”μ‹­)

90 β†’ Gu-sip (ꡬ십)

100 β†’ Baek (λ°±)
