How to say 0(zero) in Korean
韓国語で0(零)の言い方

한국어로 0을 말하는 가장 기본적인 표현은 '영'입니다.
하지만 전화번호나 계좌번호 등 연속된 번호를 말할 때는 0을 '공'이라고 읽는 사람이 압도적으로 많습니다.
그리고 시험점수와 득점을 말할 때 '0점'은 관습적으로 '빵점'이라고 읽는 사람이 많습니다.

The most basic way to say 0 in Korean is '영'.
However, when saying consecutive numbers such as phone numbers or account numbers, Almost all Korean people use '공'.
Also, when referring to test scores, many people habitually read '빵점' for zero.

韓国語で0を言う最も基本的な表現は'영（ヨン）'です。
しかし、電話番号や口座番号など連続した番号を言う時は '공（コン）'という人が圧倒的に多いです。
また、テストの点数やスコアを言う時に０点を習慣的に '빵점（パンチョム）'と読む人が多いです。

e.g. / 例 / 예
0°　--->　"영도"
0.12　--->　“영 점 일이”
007 　--->　"공공칠"
403호　--->　"사백삼 호" or "사공삼 호"
010-1234-5678　--->　"공일공 일이삼사 오륙칠팔"
1:0　--->　“일 대 영” or "일 대 빵"
0점　--->　“빵점”

오늘 우연히 발견한 사진 A photo I stumbled upon today 本日、偶然見つけた写真 일본에 처음 놀러 와서 당시 유학중이던 동생이랑 교토의 절에서 찍은 사진입니다. 初めて日本に遊びにきた時、当時留学中だった妹と京都のある寺で撮った写真です。 When I first came to Japan for fun, I took this photo at a temple in Kyoto with my sister who was studying in Japan.

What is Korean Age?

What is Korean Age? 韓国式の歳とは？ 한국 나이? Korean age is different than the age used in most countries. The whole concept of age is deeply embedded in the Korean language and culture. Korean age is a way that Koreans calculate their age. It is always one or two years more than your international age (or Western age). Korean age is different than international age because of two reasons. First, you are automatically one year old at birth. In Korea, on the day of your birth, you are considered to be one year old; the time you spent in the womb counts as the first year of your life (despite it only being nine or ten months). Because of this, your Korean age is always at least one year higher than your international age. Second, you age another year because of the turn of the calendar year. Therefore the change of the year on January 1st automatically advances your Korean age by one. Your date of birth doesn’t affect your Korean age.   This is the fomula for “Korean Age”...

(Korean) 예 / 아니요 (English) Yes / No (Japanese) はい / いいえ     반말 Casual language タメ口 응 ↔︎ 아니 비격식 존댓말 Polite language for daily conversation 非格式体の敬語 네 ↔︎ 아니요 격식 존댓말 Formal language for writing and business 格式体の敬語 예 ↔︎ 아닙니다. 대화 Conversations 会話 A: 커피 좋아해요? Do you like coffee? B: 네 . 좋아해요. Yes , I do. A: 우유 좋아해요? Do you like milk? B: 아니요 . 안 좋아해요. No , I don’t. A: 커피 안 좋아해요? You don’t like coffee? B: 아니요 . 좋아해요. Yes , I do. A: 우유 안 좋아해요? You don’t like milk? B: 네 . 안 좋아해요. No , I don’t. In Korean, when people say “네”, it does not have the same meaning as saying “Yes” in English. The same goes for “아니요”, too. This is because the Korean word “네” expresses your “agreement” to what the other person is saying. In contrast, “아니요” expresses your “disagreement” or “denial” to what the other person is saying. For example, if someone asks you “You don’t like coffee?” (커피 안 좋아해요?) in Korean and your answer is “No, I don’t like coffee”, you have to say “네”. The literal translation of “네” ...
