Up to a game to practice count words in Korean? In this game, 8 counters are given, and you need to match them with the items provided.
Hints on counters:
- Loads of them.
- Some of them are used with Sino-Korean numbers (eg. month, day, minute), others are used with Native Korean numbers.
- The counters in this game all go with Native Korean numbers. They are:
- 명 (informal) / 분 (formal) – for counting people
- 개 – things – mainly all objects (with some exceptions – well, tons of exceptions), or if you don’t know the counter of inanimate things
- 권 – volume – books, items that are bound
- 잔 – glass – anything that is served in glass, cup, and such
- 병 – bottle – anything served in bottle
- 장 – page – anything that looks like a sheet (even CD, eg.)
- 마리 – for counting animals
- 대 – for counting machines, vehicles or instruments
