Essential Korean Before You Go to Korea 🌟 ③ NATIVE NUMBERS (하나·둘·셋…) — People, items, hours, counters 🧋👫⏰

Use NATIVE for counting people/things and hours (o’clock, 시).
Tip: before counters, 하나/둘/셋/넷 → 한/두/세/네.

Must-know counters (cute & tiny)

• 명/분 (people / honorific people)
• 개 (things) · 잔/병 (cups/bottles)
• 권 (books) · 대 (vehicles)
• 시 / 시간 (o’clock / hours) → **시=Native, 분=**SINO (minutes)

Use me!

• 세 명이에요. se myeong-ieyo — We’re three.
• 아메리카노 두 잔 주세요. du jan juseyo — Two Americanos, please.
• 여섯 시 반이요. yeoseot si ban-iyo — 6:30.
• 책 한 권 빌릴 수 있어요? — Can I borrow one book?

Quick drill: order for friends—“아메리카노 세 잔이요.” Then book a table—“네 명이에요. 여섯 시에요.”
