GAME: COUNTERS

by | Feb 8, 2022

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
