Good to know
- 구십육 is written that way but said [구심뉵]: nasalization (before ㄴ).
How 구십육 is built
구십육 is 구 (9) × 십 (10) + 육 (6). 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 아흔여섯 has to be learned.
구ㄱ+ㅜ십ㅅ+ㅣ+ㅂ육ㅇ+ㅠ+ㄱ
