십 -10

백만 - 1000000 (one million)

1. Counting of large numbers is based on units of 10 thousand (1만), instead of 1 thousand (1천) as in
English.
E.g. 2017030 = 이십일만 칠천 삼십

2. When a number larger than 1 begins with 1, the initial 1 is not pronounced.
E.g. 11 = 십일 ; 120 = 백 이십 ; 11050 = 만 천 오십

3. 16, 26, 36,...96 are pronounced as [심뉵, 이심뉵, 삼심뉵…]

4. “0” is pronounced as 공 or 영 (interchangeably). But when spelling phone number, 공 is used.


E.g 010-5505-5055 = 공일공 오오공오의[에] 오공오오 (in this case: 의 is pronounced as 에)

Sorry, but isn't there a mistake in unit example one? Shouldn't it say 6 family members instead of 5?
