Hangul

Reading menu numbers

7,000 or 70,000? One syllable decides your rent.

La explicación está en inglés. Las líneas coreanas y su sentido siguen tu idioma.

Prices on Korean menus are pure Hangul: 칠천 (7,000), 만 (10,000). Read the block, count the zeros, keep the friendship.

Sino-Korean numbers: 일 이 삼 사 오 육 칠 팔 구 십. 십 = 10, 백 = 100, 천 = 1,000, 만 = 10,000. 팔천오백 = 8,500.

Practice on a real menu photo: 하기 없이 — no, just screenshot any café menu and read three prices tonight.
