Good to know
- Before a counter word, 아흔셋 shortens to 아흔세: 아흔세 개 (93 things), 아흔세 살 (93 years old).
How 구십삼 is built
구십삼 is 구 (9) × 십 (10) + 삼 (3). 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 아흔셋 has to be learned.
