How To Tell The Date In Korean

Telling the date in Korean is very easy. The numbers go from biggest to smallest.

You may often see them abbreviated or shortened as (220130)

22 ~ 2022

01 ~ January (1st month)

30 ~ 30th day

The Year comes first, then the month, and finally the day. You use sino-korean numbers for the year, the month, & the day.

So as long as you know the numbers well, you'll know how to do this. The only words you'll need to know are:

년 (year)

월 (month)

일 (day)

If you know sino-korean numbers you can skip to the next relevant part:

일 = 1

이 = 2

삼 = 3

사 = 4

오 = 5

육 = 6

칠 = 7

팔 = 8

구 = 9

십 = 10

십일 (10 + 1) = 11

십이 (10 + 2) = 12

Guide:

십 = 10

백 = 100

천 = 1000

십 = 10

이십 = 20

삼십 = 30

사십 = 40

오십 = 50

육십 = 60

칠십 = 70

팔십 = 80

구십 = 90

백 = 100

이백 = 200

삼백 = 300

사백 = 400

오백 = 500

육백 = 600

칠백 = 700

팔백 = 800

구백 = 900

천 = 1000

2 x 1000 = 이천 (2000)

2 x 10 = 이십 (20)

2020 (2000 + 20) = 이천이십

2021 (2000 + 20 + 1) = 이천이십일

2022 (2000 + 20 + 2) = 이천이십이

1999 (1000 + 900 + 90 + 9)

천 + 구백 + 구십 + 구

천구백구십구

1988 (1000 + 900 + 80 + 8)

천 + 구백 + 팔십 + 팔

천구백팔십팔

Months are just numbers 1-12 + 월

일월 - January

이월 - February

삼월 - March

사월 - April

오월 - May

유월 - June

칠월 - July

팔월 - August

구월 - September

시월 - October

십일월 - November

십이월 - December

Let's See Some Examples:

2019, February 6th

이천십구년 이월 육일

2003, June 24th

이천삼년 유월 이십사일

(not 육월)

1997, September 17th

천구백구십칠년 구월 십칠일

1776, March 12th

천칠백

Exceptions To Be Aware Of:

> 육월X 유월✔️ june

> 십월X 시월✔️ october

Now Let's Try Out Some Practice:

~ 2022 March 30th

~ 1982 October 4th

~ 1951 July 28th

~ 2021 December 31st

~ 2018 November 1st

You mentioned leaning Korean in a post earlier. Did you teach yourself ? I am thinking about it but not sure where to start. I don’t know any speakers so trying to think how to do this on my own...love your posts !

I know exactly how you feel anon!

I wanted to learn Korean to better understand subtitles but I had no k-drama friends or anyone interested in the language irl.

One thing I want to mention is that everyone learns differently. You might be a workbook kind of person whereas someone else might like apps or flashcards...Anyways, This is what I did:

How I taught myself Korean

1. I downloaded a free app called Drops. It starts by teaching you the Hangul alphabet by making it a game of sorts which really worked for me. I then moved up "levels" and unlocked vocabulary. I like that you can swipe away words you have no interest in learning and it does visuals with the hangul as well as pronunciation. Plus, it's FREE!

2. I signed up for Rosetta Stone (not free). I really wanted to get better and drops only works on reading words, not sentence building. I didn't like Duolingo AT ALL (it's a personal preference I'm sure) and I couldn't find anything useful that was free other than workbooks which I suck at and find boring.

Rosetta stone does cost money, but they have a half off sale a couple of times a year and you can buy a full year for about $70. Or I think you can do it by the month but it costs more than way. It's a lot of money (I asked for it for my birthday!), but Rosetta stone is full emersion and you will never run out of levels. NOTE: There is no english in rosetta stone so you'll want to learn the hangul in drops first. Also, if you get stuck (I did a lot because it's just hangul, listening, and photos, feel free to message me with a screen grab and I can help you - For real! I got stuck a few times and my Korean speaking friends really helped me out when I couldn't figure out a lesson by just looking at the pictures.

Not everyone likes Rosetta Stone because you CAN get stuck (I used a translator tool a lot to "cheat" if I needed help but hey, it really really helped me learn how to listen and speak. Also, I skipped all typing sections because they were hard and I only want to have fun since this is my hobby.

3. The best thing I did: I signed up for Italki.com which is all I use now (You might be able to skip rosetta stone to do this instead, or do a combo). It's a website that puts you in contact with tons of teachers who want to teach you how to listen and speak. Create and account for free and take a look. Some people are expensive licensed teachers and others are only $6 for 30 minutes. You pick who you like (they all have trial lessons that are very affordable) and you can ask questions, work on basics, really anything. Plus if you don't like someone, you just don't book them again and no one notices.

The most important thing I do isn't Rosetta Stone (I used that for about 8 months and then stopped). It's my $10 30 minute lesson I have once a week with my Italki teacher. It's helped me immensely and while i'm not a pro at ALL, I'm at least maintaining the skillset I have.

I hope this helps? I'm still only an intermediate Korean speaker so take that with a grain of salt but I HAVE been told I have excellent pronunciation and I can make my way in Korea when I visit which is pretty awesome!

가족 나무 - Family Tree

In Korea, there are two sides of the family (much like western culture). Although, unlike western culture, they actually go by a different name. While you still call your mother’s sister your aunt - even without specifying that she’s on your mother’s side - there are completely different names / titles to use. 

가족 - family

어머니 / 엄마 - mother / mom (formal / casual)

아버지 / 아빠 - father / dad

할아버지 - grandpa

할머니 - grandma

부모 - parents

조부모 - grandparents

친척 - relatives

사촌 - cousin

형제 - brothers

자매 - sisters

형 - older brother (male)

오빠 - older brother (female)

누나 - older sister (male)

언니 - older sister (female)

동생 - younger sibling (여동생 - little sister, 남동생 - little brother)

고모 - father’s sister

이모 - mother’s sister 

you can say this when ordering at a restaurant. If the woman looks old enough to be your aunt, that is.

삼촌 - uncle

Other names and titles in Korean:

아저씨 - older man (can be used as uncle)

아줌마 - older woman

아가씨 - woman (not married)

총각 - man (not married)

-씨 - 희주씨 (used after a name)

선생님 (쌤) - teacher (slang)

-님 - 의사님 (used after an occupation)

선배 - older university student (used if you are in freshman / first-year uni)

여자친구 (여친) - girlfriend (slang)

남자친구 (남친) - boyfriend (slang)

여자사람친구 (여사친) - female friend (slang)

남자사람친구 (남사친) - male friend (slang)

There are…hundreds of honorific titles in Korean, and if I went through all of them this post wouldn’t be about family anymore and it would be unnecessarily long. When I finish the ‘Jobs in Korea (for foreigners)’ blog, I will add workplace honorifics. But for now, that’s all! I hope you enjoyed this lesson. 

Happy Learning :)
