Good to know
- Before a counter word, 스물넷 shortens to 스물네: 스물네 개 (24 things), 스물네 살 (24 years old).
How 이십사 is built
이십사 is 이 (2) × 십 (10) + 사 (4). 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 스물넷 has to be learned.
