🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

Punctuality is extremely important in professional settings. Arriving 'on time' is often seen as being late; 5-10 minutes early is the norm. The 24-hour clock is used for all official schedules (trains, planes, TV), but people almost always convert it to 12-hour format when speaking. Traditional time-telling used the 12 zodiac animals. You might still hear elders refer to 'Sa-si' or 'O-si' in historical contexts. Asking '몇 {시|時}예요?' at a party can be a polite way to suggest that the gathering should wind down.

💡

The 1, 2, 3, 4 Rule

Remember that Hana, Dul, Set, Net change to Han, Du, Se, Ne before 'Si'.

⚠️

Don't use Sino numbers

Saying 'Il-si' instead of 'Han-si' is a dead giveaway that you are a beginner.

🎯

Use 'Ban' for half-past

Instead of saying '30-bun', just say 'Ban' (half). It sounds much more natural.

Politeness matters

Always add 'yo' at the end unless you are 100% sure you are in an informal setting.
