Hangul

Reading menu numbers

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

L’explication est en anglais. Les lignes coréennes et le sens suivent votre langue.

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.
