Unit 8: Telling Time
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 + μ)
We use Native Korean numbers for the hour (μ). - 1:00 -> ν μ (not νλ μ) - 2:00 -> λ μ (not λ μ) - 3:00 -> μΈ μ - 4:00 -> λ€ μ - 5:00 -> λ€μ― μ ... - 12:00 -> μ΄λ μ
Minutes (Sino-Korean Numbers + λΆ)
We use Sino-Korean numbers for the minute (λΆ). - 10 minutes -> μ λΆ - 15 minutes -> μμ€ λΆ - 30 minutes -> μΌμ λΆ (or λ° meaning "half")
Examples
- μ§κΈ λͺ μμμ? (What time is it now?)
- μΈ μ μμ€ λΆμ΄μμ. (It is 3:15.)
- μ΄ μ λ°μ λ§λμ. (Let's meet at 10:30.)
