공 0
하나 1
둘 2
셋 3
넷 4
다섯 5
여섯 6

열셋 13 [열쎋]
열넷 14 [열렏]
열다섯 15 [열따섣]
열여섯 16 [열려섣]
열일곱 17 [열릴곱]

That's soo cool xD which one came first?

Hello again! Well, the Koreans probably had their own way of counting, then they just took the other system from the Chinese when they got more contact with them. So, the Korean one probably existed longer in Korea, but the Chinese had probably come up with a counting system a good time before, then Koreans added them to their language as well.

Thanks for watching :D

This is such a great video! Thank you very much!

There's a small mistake in the description tho, you switched 예순 40 and 마흔 60. ;) I noticed because it almost got me confused when I finally thought I got everything ahah!
