Good to know
- 육십육 is written that way but said [육심뉵]: nasalization (before ㄴ).
How 육십육 is built
육십육 is 육 (6) × 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 예순여섯 has to be learned.
