Which Korean numbers should I learn first?
If you are new to the Korean language, we recommend starting with Sino-Korean numbers first. This is based on our experience with teaching the numbers inside of our Inner Circle courses.
Here’s why:
- You’ll Use Them a Lot. Sino-Korean numbers are used everywhere in Korea – (e.g., dates, handling money, reading addresses and phone numbers, and more). Learning them early on means you’ll be ready to tackle everyday tasks and grasp important info right away.
- Easier to learn. The Sino-Korean number system has a much simpler pattern than the Native Korean number system. This means once you’ve got the hang of the basics, you can easily make bigger numbers. This will give you a good confidence boost.
- Handy for Official Stuff. Sino-Korean numbers are what you’ll need for anything formal. This includes banking, official documents for work, or chatting about academic topics at school.
- Math Talk. You’ll be using Sino-Korean numbers to do math in Korean. They’re essential for discussing things like measurements, amounts, or calculations.
- Smooth Switch to Native Numbers. Moving on to Native Korean numbers will become much easier once you’re comfortable with Sino-Korean numbers. Understanding how numbers work in Korean makes it simpler to figure out when to use which counting system.
How to say the Korean numbers 1-100
Below, you’ll learn the Korean words and sample sentences for the numbers 1-100.
1 in Korean
The number 1 in Korean can be expressed as 일 (il) or 하나 (hana).

How to say “hundred” in Korean
The Sino-Korean word 백 (baek) is used for “hundred.” For numbers beyond 99, including “hundred,” the Sino-Korean system is typically used.
Sentence examples:
1. 나 이번 시험에서 100점 받았어! (na ibeon siheomeseo baekjeom badasseo)

There is a word for “hundred” that exists in the Native Korean numbering system, which is “온” (on). However, this is rarely used in everyday language.
What to learn after Korean numbers 1-100
After you know the numbers from 1-100, here are the next lessons to focus on:
- Korean Numbers – Learn about all the Korean numbers using the two number systems.
- Korean Counters – Learn the correct counting words to use with Korean numbers.
- Telling time in Korean – Learn how to recognize and use numbers for hours, minutes, and seconds.
- Months in Korean – Use the numbers to talk about dates and months.
Wrap Up
Today, you learned the Korean numbers from 1-100 in two different number systems.
Remember that we recommend learning Sino-Korean numbers first for their practicality and simplicity. Sino-Korean numbers go up to 100 and beyond and are used for telling dates, money, and addresses. Native Korean numbers only go up to 99 and are often used with counter words for things like age and counting items.
