Good to know
- Before a counter word, 여든셋 shortens to 여든세: 여든세 개 (83 things), 여든세 살 (83 years old).
How 팔십삼 is built
팔십삼 is 팔 (8) × 십 (10) + 삼 (3). Once you know 1 to 10, Sino-Korean numbers build themselves. In native Korean, the tens have their own words (열, 스물, 서른, 마흔, 쉰, 예순, 일흔, 여든, 아흔), so 여든셋 has to be learned.
