Korean Numbers 1 to 10 - Native Korean Numbers

In Korean, there are two types of pronunciations for the same numbers (숫자, [sutja])
In the previous post, we learned about the Chinese-based numbers.

In this post, we will learn the other type of numbers, namely Native Korean Numbers, which is more difficult.

1    One     하나  [ hana ]
2    Two    둘   [ dul ]
3    Three  셋  [ set ]
4    Four    넷   [ net ]
5    Five     다섯   [ daseot ]
6    Six      여섯    [ yeoseot ]
7    Seven   일곱   [ilgop ]
8    Eight    여덟   [ yeodeol ]
9    Nine    아홉   [ ahop ]
10  Ten     열   [ yeol]

These Native Korean numbers are used in the following ways:
1. Time (O'clock) **For Minutes and Seconds, use Chinese-based numbers
2. No. of hours
2. Age - can be said in both Chinese-based and Native Korean ways
3. No. of people
4. No. of times

I noticed from the following Bigbang videos that Native Korean Numbers are used in counting one, two, three.

First Scenario:  Counting 1,2,3 when taking photos  하나 둘 셋 [ hana dul set ]!



Second Scenaro: Counting 1,2,3 when getting ready for the game 하나 둘 셋 [ hana dul set ]!
