Korean Vocabulary (Months of Year)
In this blog post, you will learn
how the months of the year in Korean work. The Korean word for months in Korean
is 월(wol).
Before learning about the
pronunciation of Korean months, it's important to know Korean numbers first,
specifically, Sino-Korean numbers. There's a separate blog for it.
To say a month of the year in
Korean, precede the word 월 with the Sino Korean Numbers for that month. See the example
below:
January
- 일(il) +월 (wol) = 일월
Months of Year in Korean
January 일월(irwol)
February 이월(iwol)
March 삼월(samwol)
April 사월(sawol)
May 오월(owol)
June 유월(yuwol)
July 칠월(chirwol)
August 팔월(parwol)
September 구월(guwol)
October 시월(siwol)
November 십일월(shipirwol)
December 십이월(shipiwol)
You may have noticed that the Korean words for
June and October are slightly different from the original spelling of six 육(yuk)
and ten 십(sib). This is due to
the fact that the words for six and ten, 육(yuk)
and 십(sib), are difficult to
speak properly when coupled with the word 월(wol).
Hence they are pronounced as:
June 유월(yuwol)
October 시월(siwol)
