Unit 8: Telling Time¶
Telling time in Easy Korean requires knowing both the Native Korean numbers and the Sino-Korean numbers!
Hours (Native Korean Numbers + ์)¶
We use Native Korean numbers for the hour (์). - 1:00 -> ํ ์ (not ํ๋ ์) - 2:00 -> ๋ ์ (not ๋ ์) - 3:00 -> ์ธ ์ - 4:00 -> ๋ค ์ - 5:00 -> ๋ค์ฏ ์ ... - 12:00 -> ์ด๋ ์
Minutes (Sino-Korean Numbers + ๋ถ)¶
We use Sino-Korean numbers for the minute (๋ถ). - 10 minutes -> ์ญ ๋ถ - 15 minutes -> ์ญ์ค ๋ถ - 30 minutes -> ์ผ์ญ ๋ถ (or ๋ฐ meaning "half")
Examples¶
- ์ง๊ธ ๋ช ์์์? (What time is it now?)
- ์ธ ์ ์ญ์ค ๋ถ์ด์์. (It is 3:15.)
- ์ด ์ ๋ฐ์ ๋ง๋์. (Let's meet at 10:30.)
