HOW TO TELL YOUR AGE IN KOREAN

Simplified Explanation:

Just Add -살

Age (In Native Korean Numbers) +

살입니다/살이에요/살이야

Example:

저는 열 여덟살입니다!

I am 18 years old!

Questions You Might Encounter:

몇 살이에요? (Polite/Casual)

나이가 어떻게 되세요? (Formal)

연세가 어떻게 되세요? (Honorific)

살 vs 세

살 and 세 have the same meaning, but there is a difference in when to use it and who to use it with. We use 세 when we talk about an elder person's age and 살 is used when talking about oneself, younger people, & friends.

세 is only used when you ask about and talk about someone's age older than you.

So you can say your age like this:

I am 20 years old.

나는 20(스무)살이다

세 Is used with sino-korean numbers only and 살 Is used with native-korean numbers only.

Also, for using 세 :

Only use 세 for someone's age older than you or someone who you meet at first.

Example:

1: How old are you?

연세가 어떻게 되세요.

2: He is 70 years old.

그는 70(칠십)세 입니다.

IMPORTANT RULES TO KNOW:

For Number 1-4 & 20, the form of the number changes If another word comes after it.

(하나 becomes 한, 둘 = 두, 셋 = 세, 넷 = 네, 스물 = 스무)

Example:

두 살이다 = to be 2 years old

수무 살이다 = to be 25 years old

수물 doesn't change if another number is after it (For Example: 수물하나, 수물다섯, 스물일곱, etc.) But If the number is followed by the counter 살 and the numbers 1-4 are after it, then it becomes 수물두 살, 스물 네 살 and so on.

🚨"CULTURAL" NOTES TO

BE AWARE OF:

*about age and korean culture

Age is particularily important in Korean culture. Close relationships (brother/sister/friend types of relationships ) are usually established among people In the same age or similar ages to you. When Koreans get closer, their relationship is based around age. For the sake of titles like 언니/오빠/누나/동생. So, asking age is usually to figure out who is older.

If you're not in a situation where you are trying to develop this kind of brother/sister/friend relationship, asking for someone's age is rude. Asking age to a person who is clearly older than you is also really rude for this reason.

Age is private.

So you might want to ask In more indirect ways, for example asking what year they were born In

A Common Way:

무슨 띠에요?

(what animal of year were you born?)

Another way is asking the birth year:

몇년 생이신가요?

(what is your birth year?)

More Forms:

몇년 생이에요? (Polite/Casual)

몇 년생이세요? (Formal)

Even when speaking to younger people, If you want to be sure to not be rude It's good to opt for questions like these instead.

To elders, you are not going to be developing this type of relationship. So you shouldn't ask their age but If for some reason you ask be sure to use the honorific question that I showed earlier.

what is ü in spanish??

okay so i wanted to explain what -ü is and why it is used because i know there are some people who dont know it exists and thats perfectly fine!! there arent a lot of words that use -ü but i just wanted to put this info out there for anyone who may be confused or just want to know!!

the two dots over the ü are known as “la diéresis” and it is very simple to understand but first i wanna go over the letter “g”:

with that being said, when -g is followed by -ue or -ui with a ü, it inditcates that the u must be pronounced. for example, pingüino is pronounced pin-gwi-no. its as simple as that!

i hope this post is helpful!! lmk if i made any mistakes!!
