    I was told at a very young age that Koreans learned Chinese, because Korea historically engaged in a lot of trade with China. So, if you learned Chinese, you had access to a wider market and it eventually became a sign of wealth, status and education. Hence, why money and measurements pertaining to tradable (non-living) objects, used the Sino-Korean number system.
    Full disclaimer: I am not an expert and I could be wrong on this lol.

    So basically 90% of the time you should use sino numbers 👍

      Here's a bonus question! Which system do you think you would use for a "percent" (프로)? For example, 2%, 10%, 90%....

    만약에 외국인이 저에게 한국어를 가장 정확하게 유투브 채널에서 배워야 할지 문의한다면 의심할 필요도 없이 이 채널을 추천할꺼에요. 왜냐하면 한국인이 저보다 한국어를 훨씬 쉽고 정확하게 잘 가르치시니까요. 볼때마다 진심 대박입니다. 단언컨대 꾸준히 가시면 따라올 사람이 없을꺼라 생각합니다. 무리하지 않으시고 본인이 원하시는 목표에 맞춰 계속하시면 한국문화에 관심있는 외국인이 늘고 있는 만큼 충분히 경쟁력 있으실꺼에요. Can't wait for your next clip!

    I’ve always just winged it with some of the unknowns and I’m glad to know in most cases it’s Sino! This is helpful by summarising everything.

    May I ask this? We can say ‘3 months’, e.g. you only have 3 months to finish this project. Either 삼개월 or 세달, correct? My question is… what is the difference between 세달 and 석달?

    What system should I use if I get to read out a random twenty digit number off a paper digit by digit, like coordinates, check numbers, lottery numbers 🤔🤔🤔

      @GoBillyKorean  4 дні тому +1

      I answer that sort of situation in this video but you'd probably use Sino Korean numbers.

    8:11 Thank you for this! I was wondering why my Korean friend corrected me when I used NKN for counting up to six breaths… now I know that intangible objects have to be in SKN. The tip I was given to decide with system to use when I get stuck was to see if the counter is hanja or not. A hanja counter would usually be paired up with SKN and a pure Korean counter with a NKN (although looking at counting pages, this would already be wrong!!). Would this still be a reliable tip to use when deciding which system to use?

    • @GoBillyKorean
      @GoBillyKorean  4 місяці тому +2

      It's not related to whether it's a Hanja word or not.
