COURSERA: DATE & TIME

This week, I was introduced to how to read, asking, and answer a day and time in Korean. 

4.1 When is your birthday

Example conversation:

A - "생일이 언제어요?" (saeng-il-i eonjeeoyo?) : when is your birthday? 

B -  "7 월 16 일 이여요" (7 wol 16 il iyeoyo) : it’s July 16th. 

Numberic on Date:

one : il, two : i, three : sam, four : sa, five : o, six : yuk, seven : chil, eight : pal, nine : gu, ten : sip. 

After that, like 11, You add 1 to 10 and say : sip-il, and you add 2 to 10 to get sip-i. 

For 20, It's similar case in that you add 10 to 2 to say i-sip, for 30 is sam-sip, and [sa-sip] for 40. 

For 100, The word for 100 is 백 baeg, 200 is i-baeg, 300 is sam-baeg. And 1,000 is 천 cheon. What would you say this year, 2015 in korean: i-cheon-sip-o-yeon.

You read the number of the months in Korean using Chinese characters. Different from English, if you wanna ask the month in Korean you add 월 [wol] > month to the Arabic number. 

Korean language using Arabic numbers and you simply add the word [il] which represents the date, to the Arabic number first of the month : il-il, second: i-il, third: sam-il, fourth: sa-il, fifth: o-il, sixth: yuk-il, seventh: chil-il, eigth: pal-il, ninth: gu-il, tenth: sip-il, eleventh: sip-il-il, and twelfth: sip-i-il in the same way. 20s : i-sip-il, and the 30s : am-sip-il. For example, when you say October 21^st, you say [si-wol il-sip-il].

For month like January, add [wol] the word for month, to the number one = [il-wol] and soon. But for June and October they don’t pronounce [yuk-wol] and [sip-wol], they pronounce [yu-wol] and [si-wol].

4.2 December 25th it's a Friday

The word what in Korean is 무슨 : museun is used with a noun all the time like 무슨 음식 : museum eumsig? = what kind of food.

If you wanna ask what day today is, you say  "oneul-i musuen yoil-i ieyo?". 

how to say the days of the week in Korean. Monday is 월요일 [wol-yoil], Tuesday is 화요일 [hwa-yoil], Wednesday is 수요일 [su-yoil], Thursday is 목요일 [mog-yoil], Friday is 금요일 [geum-yoil], Saturday is 토요일 [to-yoil], and Sunday is 일요일 [il-yoil].

4.3 What time is it now

If wanna asking about time, we can say:

"jigeum myeochsi-ieyo?" : what time is it now. 

And the answer, "yol han-si isip-i bun-ieyo" = 11:20. 

The respond of question “What time is it now?” 

= han-si-ieyo + hana which means one and [si] a unit to count the hour (One O'clock)

Let’s examine the vocabulary in this unit, now 지금 [jigeum], hour 시 [si] is a Korean unit to tell the hour, 분 [bun] is the minute. The Korean unit for the time is 시 [si], this is why you ask [myeoch-si-ieyo?] when ask you for the time.

One O’Clock – 한시 han-si, Two O’Clock – 두시 do-si, Three O’Clock – 세시 Sae-si, Four O’Clock – 네시 nae-si, Five O’Clock – 다섯시 da-sut-si, Six O’Clock – 여섯시 yuh-sut-si, Seven O’Clock – 일곱시 ill-gob-si, Eight O’Clock – 여덟시 yuh-dull-si, Nine O’Clock – 아홉시 ah-hop-si, Ten O’Clock – 열시 yeol-si, Eleven O’Clock – 열한시 yeol-han-si, Twelve O’Clock – 열두시 yeol-do-si.

for the minutes, add 분 bun. Three minutes : sam-bun, five minutes : o-bun, seven minutes : chil-bun, etc

On a special note you can say 30 minutes by using the word 반 ban : half. 

In Korean the morning is 오전 [ojeon] literally meaning before noon and the afternoon is 오후 [o-hu].
