How to Count from 11 to 100 in Korean
Before going through this post, make sure you know how to count from 0 to 10 in Korean!
Β
You will have to learn both the Native Korean and Sino-Korean numbering systems up to the number 100, since both systems are used up to this number. Let's get started!Featured article photo: Gwanghwamun in Gyeongbokgung Palace, South Korea by Kim Kibeom
11 to 100 in the Native Korean Numbering System
11 β Yeol-hana (μ΄νλ)
10 in the Native Korean numbering system is Yeol (μ΄), so from the numbers 11 to 19, you will just have to add the numbers -1 to -9 to it.
e.g. Yeol (μ΄) + hana (νλ) = Yeol-hana (μ΄νλ)
Also remember, you would have to "drop the last letter" in numbers ending with -1, -2, -3, -4 as well as the number 20 in the Native Korean numbering system when pairing it with a count noun. So that means, numbers like 11, 12, 13, 14, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 31, 32, 33, 34, and so on will result in a pattern like this:
e.g. Yeol-hana (μ΄νλ) + sal (μ΄) = Yeol-han sal (μ΄νμ΄) βEleven years oldβ
Review this concept more in the previous lesson:
12 β Yeol-dul (μ΄λ)
13 β Yeol-set (μ΄μ )
14 β Yeol-net (μ΄λ·)
15 β Yeol-daseot (μ΄λ€μ―)
16 β Yeol-yeoseot (μ΄μ¬μ―)
17 β Yeol-ilgop (μ΄μΌκ³±)
18 β Yeol-yeodeol (μ΄μ¬λ)
19 β Yeol-ahop (μ΄μν)
20 β Seumeul (μ€λ¬Ό)
30 β Seoreun (μλ₯Έ)
40 β Maheun (λ§ν)
50 β Swin (μ°)
60 β Yesun (μμ)
70 β Ilheun (μΌν)
80 β Yeodeun (μ¬λ )
90 β Aheun (μν)
100 β On (μ¨)

11 to 100 in the Sino-Korean Numbering System
11 β Sip-il (μμΌ)
When counting from 11 to 100 in the Sino-Korean numbering system, the mechanism is similar to the Native Korean one. Simply add the numbers -1 to -9 to it. 10 in the Sino-Korean numbering system is Sip (μ), so eleven is simply:
e.g. Sip (μ) + il (μΌ) = Sip-il (μμΌ)
12 β Sip-i (μμ΄)
13 β Sip-sam (μμΌ)
14 β Sip-sa (μμ¬)
15 β Sip-o (μμ€)
16 β Sip-yuk (μμ‘)
17 β Sip-chil (μμΉ )
18 β Sip-pal (μν)
19 β Sip-gu (μꡬ)
20 β I-ship (μ΄μ)
30 β Sam-sip (μΌμ)
40 β Sa-sip (μ¬μ)
50 β O-sip (μ€μ)
60 β Yuk-sip (μ‘μ)
70 β Chil-ship (μΉ μ)
80 β Pal-sip (νμ)
90 β Gu-sip (ꡬμ)
100 β Baek (λ°±)
