Korean Vocabulary (Months of Year)


 

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)
