This week was focusing on learning how to ask “what time is it” (“myeouh/si ye yo” or “myeouh/si yip ni dap”) as well as read the time (based on the numbering system I learned) and tell the time in Korean (“si” meaning hour and “pbun” meaning minutes) in Korean. The two numbering systems I learned were Sino Korean, which is used for minutes, and Native Korean, which is used for hours. Hence, if I wanted to say “it is 3:15”, it would be “se si ship-o pbun”. I also learned how to say days in the week (“yo-il” meaning day) and months (“wull” meaning month).
