FAQ
Does Korean use counters?
Yes, Korean uses counters — short words to indicate what is being counted. People, animals, specific objects, and concepts all have different counters. They are added after numbers when describing quantities. For example, “명” (myeong) is used for people, “마리” (mara) for animals, and “개” (ge) for general items. Counters are an essential part of Korean grammar and daily communication.
How many words are there in Korean?
The Korean language has the second-largest vocabulary in the world with over 1 million words (though not all are in daily use), second only to the Tamil language. The National Institute of the Korean Language records thousands of words, including formal, informal, historical, and modern slang terms. Most everyday conversations use a more limited set of commonly known words.
What is the counting word for people in Korean?
The counting word for people in Korean is "명" (myeong). It’s used after a number to indicate the quantity of people. For example, "세 명" (se myeong) means "three people." In more formal or polite contexts, "분" (bun) is used instead to show respect, particularly when referring to elders or in professional settings.
What is the basic counting in Korean words?
Korean has two counting systems: Native Korean numbers (하나, 둘, 셋 — hana, dul, set, etc.) for quantities up to 99, age, and general counting, and Sino-Korean numbers (일, 이, 삼 — il, ee, sam, etc.) for dates, money, time, and measurements. The choice between the systems depends on what is being counted.
