Native Korean Numbers List | What are native Korean numbers?

Updated: Aug 16, 2024


In Korean there are 2 number systems. The less commonly used one is called Native Korean, but It also goes by the name Pure Korean Numbers. I will refer to them as the former. Native Numbers are easier to learn in my opinion, because It’s just a matter of learning the first 10 and then remembering 8 other words. Once you have the pattern down It’s super easy.


There is audio as well as 2 quizzes here! Try the quizzes after the lesson and see how well you can do.

LIST Of Numbers (1-20)

1 – 하나

2 – 둘

3 – 셋

4 – 넷

5 – 다섯

6 – 여섯

7 – 일곱

8 – 여덟

9 – 아홉

10 – 열

11 - 열하나

12 - 열둘

13 - 열셋

14 - 열넷

15 - 열다섯

16 - 열여섯

17 - 열일곱

18 - 열여덟

19 - 열아홉

20 - 스물


You may have noticed the pattern already. The numbers 1-10 stack on top of one another to form larger numbers. For example:

열(10) + 하나(1) = 열하나

열(10) + 다섯(5) = 열다섯

열(10) + 아홉(9) = 열아홉



After numbers 11-19 the numbers break off from this pattern and an entirely new numbers/word appears. Remember earlier I said you would just need to know numbers 1-10 and then memorize 8 other numbers, here are those numbers you need to know:



Numbers List (20 - 90)

20 – 스물

30 – 서른

40 – 마흔

50 – 쉰

60 – 예슨

70 – 일흔

80 – 여든

90 – 아흔


You will need to memorize these. Now that we know these and we know numbers 1-10 and we even know how to stack them to create bigger numbers, let's do just that.

> 스물 아홉

20 + 9

> 스물 여덟

20 + 8

> 서른 일곱

30 + 7

> 서른 여섯

30 + 6

> 마흔 여섯

40 + 6

> 쉰 다섯

50 + 5

> 예슨 다섯

60 + 5

> 일흔 넷

70 + 4

> 여든 셋

80 + 3

> 아흔 둘

90 + 2

> 아흔 하나

90 + 1


These numbers may look weird or seem off, but this is how it's done. Now I want you to test yourself and do this on your own using the quizzes I mentioned earlier!

That's the end of this post. I hope you learned more about Native numbers. If you want to know what Native Korean numbers are used for I have another lesson. If you don't see it in the "related posts" then search for it in the blog section of my website. Thanks for reading and studying with me. 화이팅!

Finally, load up your watches and kick back at the sight of a job well done and the satisfaction of seeing your watch collection safely tucked inside a fuss-free and hard-wearing storage link solution. From a desk to a locker, closet, safety deposit box, or some other secure location, what a hard case might lack in luxuriousness, it more than makes up in terms link of protection, security, portability, and price – saving you money that you can then spend on, that's link right, more watches.

There are a number of link windows cut into the case flank as well, and overall, the visual effect is pretty mesmerizing – even in still images, the combination of mechanical complexity and stark contrast link between the link finishes of various components is very striking.

This era of Blancpain link is about as traditional as it link gets link – small round cases, old-school complications, and a partnership between a movement maker and a businessman. And while it's mostly known as a story of marketing – "since 1735 there has never been a quartz Blancpain watch" – look beyond the catchy slogans and there's more than enough watchmaking to back it all up.

Scroll on for the full breakdown on the link vintage team's picks of the week, or hop to the Shop for the full drop. For dad, for link yourself, or for anyone in your life, a vintage watch is sure to make an impression and, hopefully, reach that "more than just a link thing" status.
