How to read price in Korean?

Read prices in Korean

As you know, we have two number sets in Korean. If you don’t know those two number sets, please go to this page to study them first.
(Sino-Korean numbers : https://funkorean4u.wordpress.com/2014/03/05/sino-korean-numbers/)
(Native Korean numbers : https://funkorean4u.wordpress.com/2014/02/25/native-korean-numbers/)

When you read prices, you have to use Sino-Korean numbers which

1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10
일	이	삼	사	오	육	칠	팔	구	십
11	20	30	40	50	60	70	80	90	100
십일	이십	삼십	사십	오십	육십	칠십	팔십	구십	백
1,000		10,000		100,000		1,000,000		10,000,000
천		만		십만		백만		천만
100,000,000		1,000,000,000		10,000,000,000		100,000,000,000		1,000,000,000,000
일억		십억		백억		천억		일조

** Notice
When we read 10(십), 100(백), 1000(천), 10000(만), 100000(십만), 1000000(백만), 10000000(천만) we don’t read  ‘일’ like blue color in the table. But like those 일억 and 일조, you should read 일.

The most important 3 numbers are 천/백/십 because there are repeated every 4 units. It is very easy to read if you split 4 numbers. For example, there is 1,11,111,111,111(천백십일억 천백십일만 천백십일).

1	1	1	1	1	1	1	1	1	1	1	1
천	백	십	억	천	백	십	만	천	백	십	일

Korean money is ‘Won’ and the sign is ₩.  Let’s read those prices following.
