The Sino Korean numbers are derived from the Chinese numerals (Sino is a prefix meaning Chinese).

Numbers 0-10
| Number | Pronunciation | Hanja |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 영1 | 零 |
| 1 | 일 | 一 |
| 2 | 이 | 二 |
| 3 | 삼 | 三 |
| 4 | 사 | 四 |

| 6 | 육 / 륙2 | 六 |
| 7 | 칠 | 七 |
| 8 | 팔 | 八 |
| 9 | 구 | 九 |
| 10 | 십 | 十 |
- For phone numbers, '공' is used instead of 영, i.e. 010-1234-5678 is 공일공 일이삼사 오룩칠팔.
- 육 is used when it's just the number '6' or if it is the first syllable, i.e. 육십 (60). Otherwise it is 륙.
Numbers 11-99
For the numbers above 10, you form them by counting the number of 10's (십) you need, followed by the remaining digits.
- 11 = 10 + 1, so 십일 (ten one)
- 15 = 10 + 5, so 십오 (ten five)
- 20 = two 10s, so 이십 (two ten)
- 50 = five 10s, so 오십 (five ten)
- 99 = nine 10s + 9, so 구십구 (nine ten nine)

Numbers 100 and above
- For the numbers between 100-999, you form them by counting the number of 100's (백) you need, followed by the remaining digits.
- 565 = five 100s, six 10s + 5, so 오백육십오 (five hundred six ten five).
- For the numbers between 1,000-9,999 you form them by counting the number of 1000's (천) you need, followed by the remaining digits.
- For the numbers between 10,000-99,999 you form them by counting the number of 10,000s (만) you need, followed by the remaining digits.
- For the numbers above 100,000,000 you form them by counting the number of 100,000,000s (억) you need, followed by the remaining digits.
| Number | Pronunciation | Hanja |
|---|---|---|
| 100 | 백 | 百 |
| 1,000 | 천 | 千 |
| 10,000 | 만 | 萬 |
| 100,000 | 십만 | 十萬 |
| 1,000,000 | 백만 | 百萬 |
| 10,000,000 | 천만 | 千萬 |
| 100,000,000 | 억 | 億 |
| 1,000,000,000,000 | 조 | 兆 |
| 10,000,000,000,000,000 | 경 | 京 |
Pronunciation note
- Any time 6 is preceded by 10 (like 16 or 56), the combination is always pronounced as '심뉵'. This is because 6 is 육 if it's in the first syllable and 륙 elsewhere, so 심륙 → 심뉵.
