Korean Vocabulary (Time)


 

Korean Vocabulary (Time)

In Korean language, the time is knowns as 시간(sigan) and you use the word 시(si) to tell the hours and then you use the word 분(bun) to tell the minutes. As the time is said in hours and minutes, in Korean language, time is denoted using the Native and Sino numbering system. The hours are represented using Native Korean numbering system i.e. 하나(hana), 둘(dul), 셋(set) and minutes are represented using Sino Korean numbering system i.e. 일(il), 이(i), 삼(sam)

시(si) is used specifically to tell the hour in time in Korean.

Example: 1 o’clock = 1시 -한시(hansi)

      7 o’clock = 7시 -일곱시(ilgopsi)

 

Unlike hours, 분(bun) is used to tell the minute in time in Korean.

Example: 13 minutes = 십삼분(shipsambun)

              16 minutes =십육분(sipyukbun)

 

One more thing to know before we go further, Korean language also has a word for “half past” which is 반(ban). This means “half” in Korean.

 

Example: 7:30 = 일곱시 반 (ilgopsi ban)

 

It’s also ok to say 일곱시삼십분 (ilgopsi samsipbun), but 일곱시반 (ilgopsi ban) is a bit easier and sounds natural.
