Good to know
- Before a counter word, 마흔하나 shortens to 마흔한: 마흔한 개 (41 things), 마흔한 살 (41 years old).
- 사십일 is written that way but said [사시빌]: linking (final moves to the next vowel).
How 사십일 is built
사십일 is 사 (4) × 십 (10) + 일 (1). 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 마흔하나 has to be learned.
사ㅅ+ㅏ십ㅅ+ㅣ+ㅂ일ㅇ+ㅣ+ㄹ
