Key Sentence and Grammar
The Sino-Korean Number

Although the native Korean numbers are used for counting, the Sino-
Korean numbers are used for reading numbers.
1 일 6 육
2 이 7 칠
3 삼 8 팔
4 사 9 구
5 오 10 십
Reading Phone Numbers

Use the Sino-Korean numbers to give someone your phone number. Just
as in English, Korean usually read each number separately. Zero is
read as 공 and the dash is read as 에.
0 1 0 – 9 7 2 9 – 8 5 3 4
공 일 공 에 구 칠 이 구 에 필 오 삼 사
The Question Word 몇 번 “What number”

몇 번 is used to ask for a number – not a quantity, but a number
(for instance, driver’s license number, ticket number, parking space
number).
A. 집 전화번호가 몇 번이에요? What is your home phone number?

B. 635-4278 이에요. It is 635-4278.
이 /가 아니에요 “is not ~ noun”

When negating a noun, use the marker 이/가 after the noun. Study the
examples below. It my seem strange, but the subject of the English
sentence (Paul) takes the topic marker 은/는. The subject of the
sentence is usually left out. 예요/이에요 cannot be used with
adjectives.
How to Read Sino-Korean Numbers
thousand hundred ten
천 백 십
6 육십 7 칠

A little tip!
In Korean, don’t say “one” when it is the first digit as in “one hundred,”
“one thousand”, etc.
 백 이십구 (Hundred twenty nine)
X 일백 이십구 (One hundred twenty nine)

Dialogue TIPS
혹시 “by any chance”

This is an adverb that goes at the beginning of the question to

Dialogue TIPS
Contrast Marker 은/는

Another function of the marker 은/는 is to provide contrast, or
emphasize difference. In the example, the speaker doesn’t know
someone’s home number, but he does know the mobile number.
A. 집 전화번호 알아요? Do you know his home phone number?

B. 아니요, 그런데 핸드폰 번호는 알아요. No, but I know his mobile
number?
아니요 / 아니에요
아니 means “no” when you are asked a yes/no question, as the
opposite of 네 (yes). 아니에요 means “`isn’t/am not (noun)”, as the
opposite of 예요/이에요 (“is (noun)). 아니에요 needs the marker 이/가.
아니 = No 아니에요 = is not/am not
A. 의사예요? Are you a doctor?

B. 아니요. No.
Example: 자는 의사가 아니에요. I am not a doctor.
Pronunciation
잠깐만요 [잠깐만뇨]
When a word ending in a final consonant “ㄴ, ㅁ’ is followed by 이,

야, 여, 요, 유, the ‘ㄴ’ is pronounces as if it is added as the
initial consonant of the next syllable: [니,냐, 녀, 뇨, 뉴]
accordingly. Technically, these examples should be pronounced as
[잠깐마뇨], [그러묘], and [무스닐], but in reality, Koreans may
pronounce them as [잠깐만뇨], [그럼뇨], and [무슨닐].
1. 그럼요 [그럼뇨]
2. 무슨일 [무슨닐]

A Word on Culture
Q: Why is it that Koreans say they are a year or two older than they
really are?
As stated previously, age is very important to Koreans. In Korea,
age partially determines status and shapes the way one interacts
with others. So why do Koreans seem to count age differently than
Westerners do?
First, because Koreans count the time that a baby
spends in the womb, newborn babies are considered
to be a year old. In addition to that, Koreans
don’t think of the birthday in the way that
Westerners do.
Rather, following tradition, when the old year ends
and the new year begins on the morning of the Lunar
New Year, everyone eats 떡국 (a soup made with rice cakes) and “eats”
another year in age (Koreans say 한 살을 먹다). So, no matter when
your actual birthday is, your Korean age increases on the New Year
rather than your birthday. Therefore,

depending on the time of year, your Korean
age is 1 or 2 years older than your age by
Western reckoning. This could make a big
difference in age.
For example, a baby born in December meets
the world at age 1 and turns 2 the
following January. In Korea, when one needs to write down an age for
formal purposes, one either writes down the date of birth (year,
month, date) or calculates in the Western way, with the word 만
attached before the age. Some people who would rather knock a couple
years off their age opt to use this 만 age all the time!

Reading Dates
In Korea, dates are read with the Sino-Korean numbers from the
largest to the smallest unit: year first, then month, then the day
last.
A little tip!
Unlike English, in Korean, years are

never read in two units at a time.
1973 “19”“73” (This is not right.)
Instead, it is read as one unit. (One
thousand nine hundred seventy three)
Another tip!

8 (팔)년 [팔련]
10 (십)년 [심년]
Question words 언제 “when” and 며칠 “what day”

the phrase 축하합니다.
음력 생일 “Lunar Calendar Birthday”
Koreans traditionally used the lunar calendar, but from 1894, the
Western solar-based calendar and the lunar calendar have been both
used together. A lunar calendar date occurs about one month after
its corresponding solar calendar date. Now because of Western
influence, the solar calendar is officially used for scheduling;
however, the lunar calendar is used for certain holidays such as the
Lunar New Year, Chuseok (Korean Thanksgiving), and traditional
service days, and many older people in Korea still follow the lunar
calendar when celebrating their birthdays.
Pronunciation
축하 [추카]

A Word on Culture
Q: Have you ever been to a typical Korean birthday party?
Different societies and cultures have different birthday traditions
as well as different ideas about which birthdays are particularly
meaningful. The Jewish have special Bar/Bat Mitzvah celebrations at
13, some Americans consider “Sweet 16” or 21 a special birthday, and
Korean have special birthdays at 1 year old and 60 years old. The
first birthday in Korea (not counting the day a child was born) is
called 돌잔치, and the 60th birthday is called 환갑.
In the past, when
infant mortality rates
were high, 돌잔치 became
a celebration for a
child who survived.
Family members,
relatives, and close

friends gathered together to share food and celebrate the health of
the child, as well as foretell the child’s future. This foretelling
is called 돌잡이. The child is seated before the objects which are
thought to symbolize his or her future, such as uncooked rice, a
pencil, and a very long piece of string. The object that the child
picks tells his or her fortune. So if he or she picks rice, Koreans
believe the child will never have to worry about eating and
therefore will live a comfortable, good life. A pencil or book means
the child will become a scholar; string means the child will have a
long life. More recently people have added money, lotto tickets, a
computer mouse, and other modern objects to the table to represent
more contemporary professions and lifestyles.
환갑 also originates in the past when life expectancies were short
and it was relatively rare to reach the age of 60; it celebrates a
parent’s longevity. Children throw 환갑 (sometimes called 회갑) for
their parents, present them with new clothes, and invite all their
relatives for the celebration.

pronounced as [ㄷ] when by itself (not followed by an ending).

A Word on Culture
Q: When meeting a Korean, what’s the best way to greet him or her?
When you meet someone, greet him with “안녕하세요?” [Hello(?)] no
matter what the time of day it is. There is no equivalent to “good

morning,” “good afternoon,” or “good evening,” so you can always use
“안녕하세요?”
But what if you see someone in the morning and then again later in
the day? In that case, try this:
ask: “식사했어요?” (Have you eaten?)
When Koreans run into each other around mealtime, they often ask one
another if they have eaten yet. But don’t misunderstand—it is not an
invitation to eat together, just a greeting.
In Korea, meals are common

subjects when making small
talk. When you pass by a
friend on the street, you
might ask whether that
person has eaten yet, and
suggest that next time you
go out got a bite together.
But do not take these
proposals too seriously. They are just ways of greeting and making
conversations, not serious invitations.
But when it comes a time that a Korean person would really invite
you to a meal, you will find that Koreans are not stingy. Koreans
believe that courtesy requires making sure that a guest will be
presented with such an abundance of food that there is no
possibility of running out. At the beginning of the meal, the host
will say “많이 드세요.” (literally translates to: Please eat a lot).
It is the guest’s difficult duty to try and consume all the food,
which has been painstakingly prepared by the host. So while it may
not be the guest’s intention, he often ends up overeating.
So when you have a chance, give these greetings a try: “식사했어요?”
and “많이 드세요.”

A Word on Culture
Seoul’s Public Transportation
Almost all foreigners living in Seoul agree that Seoul’s
transportation system is inexpensive. If you are living in the west
part of Seoul, say near Gimpo airport, and you want to go to North
Seoul’s Mt. Bukhan, it will only cost you 1,000 won (about 1 dollar).
Is it because the area of Seoul is small? No. Rather, the reason
Seoul’s transportation system us so cheap and well-developed is
because of its population. Seoul is home to at least 20% of South
Korea’s population, about 12 million people (2005 statistic). Need
to hop on a bus or subway? Read on!

First, if you’re thinking about staying in Seoul for more than a
week, it’s a good idea to buy a transportation card. Each time you
ride a bus or subway, you simply have to out the transportations
card against the card reader when getting on and off. Of course, you
can also use cash, but there’s no benefit over using a
transportation card for transit passengers. When using a
transportation card, if you get off one bus or subway and get on
another within 30 minutes, you don’t have to pay extra. If your
journey is longer than 10 km, you’ll have to pay a mere 100 won more
(about 10 cents). In
addition, if you use a
transportation card, instead
of cash, you get a 100 won
discount for each trip.
In addition to being
affordable, travelling by bus or subway is often faster than by car.
While the roadways are jammed with traffic, subways run frequently
and on time. Even the buses are often much faster than cars because
during peak traffic times, many roads have a special lane for buses
only.

전부 얼마에요?
 Reading Prices
 The Question word 얼마 “how much”
 (Noun) 주세요 “Give me (noun) please”
 하고 “and” (used only with nouns)

Reading Prices
In Korean, prices are read with the Sino-Korean numbers. Although a
comma is commonly placed after 3 digits, numbers are read with the
basic unit 만 (10,000), the fourth digit.
Although in English, we say “one thousand,” “one hundred,” etc. in

Korean, in a number starting with one, the “one” is not said.
A little tip!
When the one is not the first digit,

however, it is pronounced!
210,000 원: 이십 일만 원 (/)
이십 만 원 (x)
Another tip!
16 십육 [심뉵]
60,000 육만 [융만]
100,000 십만 [심만]
1,000,000 백만 [뱅만]
The question word 얼마 “how much”
Use the question word 얼마 in order to ask about price. 얼마 is

followed by 예요, and 얼마예요 always goes at the end of the sentence.
A. 커피가 얼마예요? How much is this coffee?
B. 3,500 원이에요. 3,500 won.
(Noun) 주세요 “Give me (noun) please”
Use this expression when asking for something. After the thing (noun)
you’re asking for, use 주세요. To make this even more polite, use 줌
(which also means “please” between the noun and 주세요.
1. A. 영수증 주세요. Give me a receipt please.

B. 여기 있어요. Here it is.
2. A. 물 줌 주세요. Please give me some water.
B. 네, 알겠어요. Yes, all right.
When asking for a specific amount of some noun, use the following
formula:
주세요. Give me one cup of coffee.

two pieces of
bread.
three bottles of
beer.
four tickets.
하고 “and” (used only with nouns)
To connect two nouns, use 하고 between them as you would use “and.”

A Word on Culture
Q: When eating with a Korean, how do you decide who pays?
If you have been out to eat with a Korean, you know that Koreans are
not accustomed to splitting the bill after a meal. Koreans look upon
the practice of each paying separately for one’s share as burdensome.
Koreans know if they pay the bill this time, the other person will
cover it next time. It’s not that the next time has been planned in
advance, but that if the opportunity presents itself, the other
person will return the favor.

However, there are times when
this unwritten rule does not
hold true. When two people of
unequal status (an older
student and a younger student,
a senior and junior co-worker,
friends of different ages, for
example) dine together, the
older one usually pays for the younger one. Because people think
that older people should treat younger people, the older one will
not expect the favor to be returned the next time the pair dines
together. The elder will have received the same good treatment from
his own elders, and is now returning the favor to the younger
generation. So the younger or less senior person gets a free meal
for the time being, but knows he will treat someone younger or less
senior than himself somewhere down the line.
In this culture, people in the younger generation may choose to
split the bill. How the bill is paid will differ by situation, so
watch what Koreans do.
This is Korea’s give-and-take culture, how do you feel about taking
part?

frequency.
- twice a day : 하루에 2(두)번
- three times a week : 일주일에 3(세)번
- twice a month : 한달에 2(두)번
- once a year : 일년에 1(한)번

A Word on Culture
Q: Do you know how to indicate respect using your hands?

You may have noticed that body language differs according to culture.
In Korea, people bow a lot—for instance, when greeting someone with
“안녕하세요?” people bow their heads a bit to indicate respect. But

did you know there are ways in which you may indicate respect using
your hands?
When giving or taking something from a stranger, someone older,

someone of higher status, or someone with whom you have a formal
relationship (such as a co-worker) use not one hand but two. If it
is difficult to use both hands, you can take the object with you
right hand as your left hand holds you right forearm. Koreans also
shake hands like this—with the left arm holding on to the right
forearm. Watch closely next time you see two Koreans meet, as they
bow their heads slightly and shake hands this way.
Drinking is a common cultural activity (especially among men) with

its own rich body language. When pouring for someone or having a
drink poured for you, you should always hold the glass or bottle
with two hands, arms extended. In the old days, the sleeves of
traditional men’s Korean clothing were
very long so one had to extend one’s
arms out to receive a glass. Also,
when drinking in front of a superior,
turn your head a bit so that you are
not facing him when you take a sip.
This is another way of showing respect.
Koreans have become accustomed to this culture of paying respect to

others through these various actions and postures; how do you feel
about acquainting yourself with these?

아/어요 Verbs in the present tense

The infinitive form becomes the informal polite form by adding
아/어요 (the informal polite form) to its verb stem. “Informal”
refers to the type of situations; this form is most widely used in
daily life when shopping, buying tickets, and asking directions, for
example. Conversely, the formal polite form [(스)ㅂ니다], which you
will learn later, is used in business meetings, speeches,
presentations, etc.

Object Marker 을/를

In Korean, objects are designated by the object marker 을/를.
Objects and their 을/를 marker usually appear in front of the verb.
In colloquial conversation, people often leave the object marker
을/를 out.
Making Suggestions “let’s

When making a suggestion “let’s” use the present tense form 아/어요
as you normally would. You can also use the phrase 같이 “together”
in front of the sentence.
A. 같이 영화 봐요. Let’s see a movie together.
B. 좋아요. Sounds good.
(noun) 은/는 어때요? “How about (noun)?

Use this expression to give a suggestion. Use the topic marker 은/는
after the noun and then ask 어때요?
A. 금요일에 시간 있어요? Do you have time on Friday?
B. 아니요ㅡ 없어요. No, I don’t.
A. 그럼, 토요일은 어때요? Then how about Saturday?

저도 VS 저는
Use the marker 은/는 to emphasize 저 (I) or draw attention to some

A Word on Culture
Q: The Korean Wave

The “Korean Wave” is the name given to the Korean cultural boom,
which began in the latter part of the 1990s and has been steadily
gathering strength, as can be seen in the spread to Japan, China,
and Southeast Asia around the time of the 2002 World Cup. Through
the growing popularity of Korean TV miniseries, songs, and movies,
people throughout Asia have become
interested in Korean culture and
history. However, the Korean Wave’s
sources of influence are not
limited to mass media; mobile
phones and other electronics,
fashion, and Korean cuisine (Kimchi
and bean paste) have also become
quite popular in recent years.
The Korean Wave has bolstered
Korean people’s pride and interest in their own culture as well/
Korean movies used to only be popular in the domestic market, but
now these films are starting to garner recognition from the overseas
market. And films like ‘Old Boy’ have been very widely viewed
internationally.
The Korean Wave presents wonderful opportunities for those learning
Korean. It used to be difficult to get a hold of Korean language
materials – particularly pop culture – in other countries. Now, even
if you live outside of Korea, the proliferation of Korean movies and
TV series (and the Internet) allow you to have access to the most
current Korean, so you can hear contemporary spoken Korean language
and also get an idea of how Koreans think and live. If you would
like to view an introduction to films, miniseries, and so on.

 Descriptive Verbs in the Present Tense

 Negating with 안
 The marker 도 “also”

Descriptive Verbs in the Present Tense

In English, there are verbs and adjectives. In Korean, adjectives
act and look like verbs. So it’s much easier to think of Korean as
having two types of verbs: action verbs (to run, to do, to work, to
think, etc.) and descriptive verbs (to be happy, to be sad, to be
expensive, etc.) These two types of verbs behave a bit differently
when it comes to changing tenses, so you need to keep these two
types in mind. Conjugate descriptive verbs in the present tense in
the same way as action verbs. The word being described by a
descriptive verb takes the subject marker 이/가.
날씨가 좋아요. The weather is good.
옷이 비싸요. The clothes are expensive.
!Be careful
The verb 필요하다 “to need” seems like it should take an object, but
in Korean, this is a descriptive verb. You may find it helpful to

think of this verb as “to be needed”.
전는 연습이 필요해요. Practice is needed.

Negating with 안
Negate action verbs and descriptive verbs by placing 안 in front of
the verb. In 하다 action verbs, 안 goes between the noun and 해요.
Action verbs and descriptive verbs (but not 하다 action verbs)
안 자요. I don’t sleep.
안 비싸요. It is not expensive.
안 중요해요. It is not important.
Take note of 하다 action verbs.
일 안 해요. I don’t work.
!Be careful
일하다 (action verbs) “to work”
일 안 해요. I don’t work.
피곤하다 (descriptive verbs) “to be tired”
안 피곤해요. I am not tired.
EXCEPTION!
좋아해요 (action verb) “to like”
안 좋아해요. I don’t like it.

The Marker 도 “also”
If two sentences connected by 그리고 “and” are of the same structure,

you can use the marker 도 “also/too” in the second sentence to
emphasize commonality.
1. When using the marker 도, don’t use the subject marker 이/가 or
the object marker 을/를. 도 replaces these other markers.
아침을 먹어요. 그리고 커피도 마셔요.
I have breakfast. And I also drink coffee.
2. 도 goes after other markers, such as the place markers 에 and
에서
식당에 가요. 그리고 커피숍에도 가요.
I go to the restaurant. And I also go to the coffee shop.
Conjunctions
날씨가 좋아요. 그리고 사람들이 친절해요.

그리고 “and”
The weather is good. And the people are
friendly.
한국어 공부가 재미있어요. 그런데 좀 어려워요.

그런데, 하지만 “but”
Studying Korean is interesting. But it’s a
bit difficult.
배가 아파요. 그래서 병원에 가요.

그래서 “so, therefore”
My stomach hurts. So, I’m going to the
hospital.
비가 와요. 그러니까 우산을 가지고 가세요.

그러니까 “so, therefore”
It is raining. So, take an umbrella with

Do you want to be good at Korean? If so,
have a lot of conversations with Korean

하고 “and” is used to connect two nouns, but 그리고 “and” is used to
connect two sentences.

A Word on Culture
Q: Why is it that Korean say “괜찮아요” so much?
During the course of a day in Korea you will probably hear the
phrase “괜찮아요” many times. Whether you are asking about the
weather or someone’s mood, the typical response will probably be
“괜찮아요”. Korean culture associates strong negatives with bad
manners. Rather than speaking clearly and frankly about thoughts and
feelings, etiquette requires responses like “괜찮아요 (OK)” or
“별로예요” (not particularly good).
The expression “괜찮아요” thus occurs in many kinds of situations,

with many different meanings. “괜찮아요” is used not only as a polite
substitute for when one’s mood is bad, also used to accept thanks
and apologies. When someone is pressing you to eat more, use
“괜찮아요” as a polite refusal like “No, thanks.” Koreans ask
“괜찮아요?” to find out if a sick friend is getting better, reassure
someone who has made a mistake with “괜찮아요” and ask a sad friend
“괜찮아요?”
The many varied uses of “괜찮아요” can cause confusion for someone
just learning to speak Korean. When trying to understand this phrase,
pay careful attention to the speaker’s expression, voice, and body
language to understand his or her meaning.

A Word on Culture
Q: What are good places to visit in Korea?

Korea is a country of many natural and cultural sights. If you’re
spending time in Korea, be sure to take in as many as you can.
Korea has four distinct seasons, each with its own natural beauty.
When spring arrives around March or April, Jeolla-do (a province)
blooms with bright flowers. Camellia flowers and Empress trees make
Yeosu famous, Jinhae is known for cherry blossoms, and Mt. Baegeun
is famous for Maehwa (similar to apricot) tree. In the summer,
hiking around the Mt. Taebaek range is wonderful, and the view from
the summit of steep Mt. Jiri is spectacular. In August, Jeonnam’s
Boseong Chabat (tea field) is a colourful sight. When fall begins
around October, the whole country is filled with colourful leaves.
Mt. Naejang is the most breath taking place for enjoying fall’s
splendour. In the winter, the mountains of Kangwon-do become the
choice for skiing.
If you’d like to see some cultural sights, take a visit to the

thousand-year-old former capital, Gyeongju. In this former capital
of the Silla kingdom, you can see many old Buddhist temples and
archaeological artifacts and get a taste of what that brilliant
culture of the past was like.
If you want to learn more about Confucian culture, check out
Andong’s Dosan Seowon (a Confucian university in the past) and Hahoe
Village. If you’re interested in the crafting of ceramics, go to
Icheon’s ceramics village. If you want to experience something
really different, visit Jeju Island.
