Hangul 8 : Parts of the body(몸)

     I think you might get bored if I just post about the alphabets, numbers and the pronouns. Actually there is a lot more that you need to learn about the sentence order before you can construct your own sentences. But now I want you to take a break and introduce you with the parts of the body.

Regarding the parts of the body, we can ask these two question ; What is this? and Where does it hurts?

Q : 어디가 아파요 ?  |  eodiga apayo?  | Where does it hurts?                            
A : _____가 아파요. |  ___ga apayo.   |  My____ hurts. 
Q : 이것이 뭐예요 ?  |  igesshi moeyeyo?  |  What is this?
A :_______ 예요. /  |  ______ yeyo.        |  It is ______
    ______ 이예요.    |  ______  iyeyo.      |  It is ______  
     You has to replace the line with a part of the body. You can also see that there is two answers for the second question. That is called a subject particle. When the subject end with a consonant, you should add 이 after the subject. If the subject end with a vowel, you don't need to add 이.
For example : 
Q : 이것이 뭐예요 ?               Q : 이것이 뭐예요 ?
A : 머리 예요.                       A : 이예요.
Here are the parts of the body that you need to remember.

Hangul 7 : Numbers


     There are two systems of numbers in Korean which are Korean Numbers (Native Korean) and Chineese-derived Numbers (Sino Korean). Korean numbers are used mostly for counting, while Chineese numbers are used for reading the numerals. However, for the numbers one hundred and above, Chineese numbers are used.

     In Native Korean, to express let say 11 it’s 열하나 (yeol-hana) so the formula is 10 (열) + 1 (하나).  This is  also applied to the numbers 20-99. You have to memorize at least 18 numbers in Native Korean [1-9 and the multiple of 10 from 10 to 90].
     While in Sino-Korean, to express let say 32 it’s 삼십이 (sam-ship-i) so the formula is 3 (삼) X 10 (십) + 2 (이).  There are few numbers to memorize in Sino-Korean, with just 13 numbers to you can go up to a million already.
