Telling the Time: # o’clock
UNIT 6 몇 시에 만날까요?
We have learnt that Pure Korean numbers and Sino-Korean numbers are used
in different situations. However, when telling the time, both sets of numbers
have to be used. Here we will learn how to say 1 o’clock, 2 o’clock, etc. Later
we will introduce how to use minutes (and Sino Korean numbers).
Pure Korean numbers are used for the hour:
한 시 one o’clock
두 시 two o’clock
세 시 three o’clock
네 시 four o’clock
다섯 시 five o’clock
여섯 시 six o’clock
일곱 시 seven o’clock
여덟 시 eight o’clock
아홉 시 nine o’clock
열 시 ten o’clock
열한 시 eleven o’clock
열두 시 twelve o’clock
Pure Korean numbers are also used to express a duration of a certain number
of hours:
두 시간 two hours
네 시간 반 four and a half hours
