Some words have strange, almost physical qualities in the mind for different people, and myriad is such a word for me. It glitters and shines, like a school of fish shimmering just below the surface on a sunny day.
I once read the (somewhat dubious) assertion that pre-modern people were incapable of either counting past 10,000 or of comprehending numbers that large, and that number words like myriad could only be accepted in the figurative sense. I give our ancestors a bit more credit than that. They understood the precise use of language and the metaphorical uses and could move between them, the same as we do today.
In Lesson 10, you first learned how to use numbers in Korean. That information was crucial in your ability to count different things in Korean like things, events, minutes, hours, days, months, cars and many other things.
Note that I will be spelling out numbers using words in this lesson. With big numbers, numerals would most likely be used in real life. However, I am spelling out these number-words for you so you can understand how to say them.
Using the place value chart we identify the place for each digit in the given number and write the number name. For 10000 we see that the digits in units = 0, tens = 0, hundreds = 0, thousands = 10. Therefore 10000 in words is written as Ten Thousand.
Ten Thousand in numerals is written as 10000. One Hundred and Thirty in numerals is written as 130, Now Ten Thousand Minus One Hundred and Thirty means subtracting 130 from 10000, i.e. 10000 - 130 = 9870 which is read as Nine Thousand Eight Hundred and Seventy.
All you need to do is to add up words from the basic numbers. For example, the number 11. This can be expressed as 십일 (sibil) in the Sino-Korean number system and 열하나 (yeolhana) in the Native Korean number system.
This makes things tricky for native English speakers and native Korean language speakers alike to translate higher numbers quickly between the two different languages. But equipped with the right 80/20 knowledge, you can do it easily!
Notice that when the numbers are not rounded numbers, the same rule still applies. Take out four digits on the right just as you would if the number was round, then start with the number left over on the left-hand side. Add 만 (man), and then finally, write the remaining numbers.
The higher numbers are commonly used for housing prices, monthly rents, and deposit amounts. Therefore, if you are planning to rent a house in Korea, you can put your newfound language knowledge to use!
The Native Korean numbers system is a bit more modern than the Sino-Korean numbers system. Like the country of Korea, it has a much lower population (only 99 numbers, to be precise), and it tends to be more than one layer (many of the numbers are at least two syllables)!
Though you only had to memorize 17 words using the Sino-Korean numbers system to be able to count to a billion, it should be reassuring to know that you need to learn even less to know the whole Native Korean numbers!
We use the Sino-Korean numbers system most often for things like the date, a period of time, distance, and money. For telling time, a combination of the Native Korean and Sino-Korean systems would be used.
Learning Korean numbers requires a little more attention than learning numbers in most other languages. This is because unlike most other languages, the Korean language has two number systems. One number system is called Sino-Korean numbers, and this is a number system based on Chinese characters, and the other is called native Korean numbers, and as the name of the number system would suggest, this is based on Korean language.
Because Koreans used Chinese characters as a writing system before the creation of Hangul, much of Korean language is heavily influenced by Chinese language, and Korean numbers is one of the most influenced aspects.
Although hundred million is a huge number, using such numbers is a lot more common in Korea than in many other countries, and this is mainly because in monetary terms, 100,000,000 won equates to around 100,000 dollars.
With native-Korean numbers, you only have to learn the numbers from 1 to 99. There are certain words for numbers above 100, but these words are never used, so you only need to learn the numbers 1 to 99.
Native Korean numbers, on the other hand, are primarily used to count things. In Korean, when you count things, you have to use a specific word to count different nouns. These counting words are called counters.
We word sprinters like to push ourselves. The pressure of a time limit makes us more productive and we thrive on the challenge. And what greater challenge is there for a sprinter than writing more words in a day than we believed possible?
Numbers can be written either as words (e.g., one hundred) or numerals (e.g., 100). In this article we follow the guidelines of APA Style, one of the most common style guides used in academic writing.
In general, words should be used for numbers from zero through nine, and numerals should be used from 10 onwards. This is true for both cardinal numbers (e.g., two, 11) and ordinal numbers (e.g., second, 11th). However, there are some important exceptions to this rule.
Note that other style guides, such as Chicago Style, address numbers differently (for example, in Chicago, you use words for numbers up to 100). Regardless of what style guide you follow, the most important thing is to be consistent in how you treat numbers throughout your document.
