“One or Two” and “Two or Three” and Beyond | Korean FAQ

I’ll teach you how to say “one or two,” “two or three,” and so on (up to 9), along with other similar numbers like “two to four.” Not only will I show you how to do this with Pure Korean numbers, but also with Sino Korean numbers. And I’ll show you a shortcut so you can make these words without having to memorize any new vocabulary.

[@kosam77]

Thanks for teaching complicated counting numbers easily ^^

[@Smileynathi]

I just learned these in my app and was soo confused! Another similiar thing is with the "two days", "four days" etc-words that seem so random at first, maybe a video to do in future! Thank youuu

[@simonolesen3436]

He actually already has a video on this called "Korean Days: 하루, 이틀, 사흘, 나흘". Though I would just let you know

[@Smileynathi]

@@simonolesen3436 thank you!

[@GloBear801]

What app do you use? I'm always looking for better Korean learning apps for on the go learning

[@PaulinaKarolina]

I feel so confused after watching this video I need to watch it again two or three times 😂😂

[@jjkoreanjjkorean]

으어.. 이걸 어뜨케 이해할 수 있겠어요...ㅎㅎㅎ😂 우리 엄마 맨날 '오이 두서너개만 사 와.' 이러시는데 정말 혼란스럽죠. ㅠ^^ㅠ

[@bellavie14]

Hi! I have a question which I cannot seem to find the answer for anywhere online. Is there a use or nuance to the use of -라- in grammatical forms? It comes in a lot of forms and it is never clear when to use it. So for example -이어서 and -이라서 but there is also (이)라도 -어/아라 and -더라. I also think -려 can be difficult to understand sometimes, like the difference between -으면 and -으려면 and how there's -으려고. Hope I'm making sense but I would love to see you do a video about it so I don't have to keep guessing. Love your content!

[@GoBillyKorean]

~라 is used in ~이다, so ~(이)라서 is from 이다 and the ~서 form. I also have done live streams about those other topics, which you can find on my channel :-)

[@bellavie14]

@@GoBillyKorean thank you! I will have a look then, as I tried to find it with the search function, but couldn't. Thanks for letting me know, I will look into it!!! ☺️

[@TJMartinek]

If you get a chance do you think you could do a video on "으세요 / 세요"? It's what we're on in class right now and in the process of checking your videos I don't see it covered. Unless I'm missing it somewhere...

[@GoBillyKorean]

Yes, it's called Honorific Speech and I have several videos about that topic. It's also covered in my Beginner Korean Course here :-)

[@guroluke]

Why is 고 attached to the verb as with 목고 싶아?

[@simonolesen3436]

The 고 affix generally meaning "and" as in. "저는 식당에 김밥을 먹고 물 마셨어요" = At the restaurant I ate Kimbap and drank water. It is also used in the grammar form -고 싶다 which meaning "I want to..." so with your example "먹고 싶어" = I want to eat (먹다 means "to eat"). I know this is Billy's channel but I also recommend checking out his friend over at Talk To me in Korean. They have a KZbin channel but also a website with a full curriculum of 10 levels (30 lessons within each level). They teach this 고 and 고 싶다 pretty early on (level 1 I believe). Billy probably also has a video on these grammar forms, but I just cited the sources I learnt them from, do I could give you something. Feel free to ask any more questions and I will probably return to answer them

[@이름-1110]

i thing 두서너개 is 2 or 3 or 4

[@Madrinass]

How do i use it? 서너 주세요 or 서너 개 주세요

[@GoBillyKorean]

You'd still need a counter. These are only the numbers.

[@LambruscoPeter]

What about "about 10" or another number?

[@ByungWooChung]

약(about) 열(10) 개(or 가지 etc...)

[@LambruscoPeter]

@@ByungWooChungThank you! So like 고양이 약 열 마리?

[@ByungWooChung]

@@LambruscoPeter 👍 or 대략 is also(ex. 대략 열마리)

[@xapienz]

10개쯤 and 10개 정도 can work too

[@jessejohnchiasson4254]

Why don't you wear a black shirt for these vids? Good content though.

[@simonolesen3436]

He only has one shirt
