Sino-koreanische Zahlen

Learners mix up Sino-Korean and native Korean numbers, or apply Western thousand-grouping to large numbers. 🇬🇧 English speakers: English groups by thousands (1,000 / 1,000,000). Korean groups by 만 (10,000): 100,000 = 십만 (10 × 만), not 'hundred thousand'. Also, speakers use native numbers where Sino-Korean is needed (e.g., *하나월 instead of 일월 for January). 🇩🇪 German speakers: German has the same thousand-grouping, so 만-based grouping is new. Phone number reading style differs — German reads digit by digit, Korean groups like 공일공-삼사오육.
