FAQ

Time, Numbers & Colors in Korean: common questions

Which Korean numbers do I use for time?

Hours normally use native Korean numbers, such as 두 시 for two o’clock. Minutes use Sino-Korean numbers, such as 삼십 분 for thirty minutes.

Why are June and October 유월 and 시월?

The month names for June and October are 유월 and 시월. They differ from simply attaching 월 to 육 and 십.

Do Korean color words work as adjectives?

Names ending in 색 are color nouns, such as 빨간색. To describe a red bag directly, use 빨간 가방; the modifying form differs from the color name.
