Good to know
- Before a counter word, 여든넷 shortens to 여든네: 여든네 개 (84 things), 여든네 살 (84 years old).
How 팔십사 is built
팔십사 is 팔 (8) × 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 여든넷 has to be learned.
