counting for beginners and advanced

number words or numerals, or in Korean 수사 are one of the most confusing elements of the Korean language, at least for Western learners. First of Koreans have two number systems, which can be really confusing at the beginning, because you never know exactly which one now used.
.
If you say "there are two people" to using the pure Korean numbers when the two men then "eating for two" ordered, take back Sino Korean.
.
For me, these oddities after several years of course no longer strangers and I use them instinctively.
. What
in the number words for things (1 Pet Cat ") which makes things easier also, now that is simple to most complicated things" 개 "is said, the number word for" piece ". When the cashier at the supermarket, I behaved in school Korean language say that are in the cart 8 bottles (because I'm too lazy to take out and have cash in each), they answer me "Yes, 8 pcs.
.
past but it was really absurd for even the unit's own word. Therefore, the statement in many textbooks that the numerals in the Japanese were far more developed, basically wrong. The difference is simply that they will give the Japanese still use differentiated, does / she did it in Korean too.
.
Some basic number words for beginners would be:
.
명 - Human
마리 - Animal
개 - piece
걸레 - Pair
벌 - Clothing
.
Always use to the following formula: specific thing / number / About Group.
Thus: cat 1 animal, a 고양이 마리
.
would be something more advanced then words such as:
.
건 - eg two messages, two messages, but also cases etc. (2 뉴스 건, also shows that you can use it as normal with foreign words by the way)
포기 - on grass, cabbage, etc.
채 - House
접 - parcels, packaging
.
But it is really interesting, if these units are then combined to form new ones.
. For example

result.
20 animals Kwae White Fish 1 (20 북어 마리 - 1 쾌)
24 pieces needles found 1 Ssam (바늘 24 개 - 1 쌈)
100 fruits yield a Jeob (감 100 개 - 1 접)
20 pcs squid give a Chuk (오징어 20 마리 - 1 축)
20 packs of drugs result in a more (한약 20 접 - 1 제)
make 10 bowls (just stacked and tied together) a Juk (그릇 10! 개 - 1 죽)
.
And finally my favorite, because he explained most simply, how come all these measure words and what they were good:
.
2 fish yield a Son (생선 마리 2 - 1 손)
.
Son means that is simply "hand". A "hand" fish were just 2 fish. So simple.
