Korean Numbers 1 to 10 - Chinese-based Numbers

In Korean, there are two types of pronunciations for the same numbers (숫자, [sutja]).
This post will discuss the Chinese-based numbers, which are a little bit similar to Chinese.

1    One     일   [ il ]
2    Two    이   [ i ]
3    Three  삼   [ sam ]
4    Four    사   [ sa ]
5    Five     오   [ o ]
6    Six      육    [ yuk ]
7    Seven   칠   [ chil ]
8    Eight    팔   [ pal ]
9    Nine    구   [ gu ]
10  Ten     십   [ sip ]

These Chinese-based numbers are used in the following ways:
1. Date (Year, Month, Day)
2. Time (Minutes, Seconds) **But not for Hours(O'clock), use Native Korean numbers for Hours
3. Money (Price)
4. Telephone Number
5. Age - can be said in both Chinese-based and Native Korean way
6. Temperature
7. Measurements (miles, meters, gallon)

Let's learn from BigBang to count down from 10 to 1.

The Korean Kid's song Number Song is also good for learning the numbers 1 to 10:
Number Song in Koeran is 숫자송
