• 삼(십) + 칠 = 삼십칠
sam(shib) + chil = sam-shib-chil
3(10) + 7 = 37It's like math but in Korean lmao.
Another one, let's take a big value.• 453, 092 ⇨ (notice that we don't have any value for hundreds)
사(십만) + 오(만) + 삼(천) + 구(십) + 이 = 사십만오만삼천구십이
sa(shibman) + o(man) + sam(cheon) + gu(shib) + i = sa-shibman-o-man-sam-cheon-gu-ship-i
4(100,000) + 5(10,000) + 3(1,000) + (we skip the hundreds) + 9(10) + 2 = 453, 092You get the gist guys, I know you're smart.
