Good to know
- Before a counter word, 서른넷 shortens to 서른네: 서른네 개 (34 things), 서른네 살 (34 years old).
How 삼십사 is built
삼십사 is 삼 (3) × 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 서른넷 has to be learned.
