I WANT TO SAY A BIG THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO IS TAKING PART AND I WILL KEEP UPDATING THIS AS LONG AS WE NEED IT SO WE CAN SUPPORT EACH OTHER 💕💕💕

[tagging some studyblrs who have been taking part (sorry if you have stopped the challenge but I've still tagged you) - please reblog so we can spread the message!]

I don’t know about you guys, but I occasionally get brain freeze when I’m speaking on the spot and I forget which number system I’m supposed to use with which counters - this happens a lot when I’m talking about years (년) so I’ve drawn up a little helpful table of some of the most common number counters - the list of counters are numerous so I have added additional ones under the cut (without examples)

FINAL NOTE: For most things that need the quantity counting (e.g. animals, books, buildings and other objects), the number will more often be Pure Korean. Sino Korean is used for weight, percentage, temperature and distance and very large numbers over 100 [namely… MONEY!].

The answer is that all of them are correct when you treat reading kanji as something impossible.

Today, I’ll present you with a few kanji reading “rules”. However, treat them as your last resort. Kanji work in unpredictable ways:

Verbs are usually read with kun’yomi: easier said than done, it’s not a rarity that one kanji appears in more than one verb. A Japanese verb usually comes in two variations: intransitive (it means that something is happening on its own) and transitive (it means that someone is doing something). These intrasitive-transitive verb pair can be read with the same kun’yomi reading (壊れる・こわれる・kowareru “to be broken” vs 壊す・こわす・kowasu “to break”) but sometimes not (消える・きえる・kieru “to disappear” vs 消す・けす・kesu “to make sth disappear” or “to erase”). There are also instances of a one kanji which appear in two (ore more) verbs with different meanings and kun’yomi readings (行く・いく・iku “to go” vs 行う・おこなう・okonau “to perform”). However, that doesn’t change the fact that verbs are usually read with kun’yomi. The exception to this rule is verbs ending in ～じる・～jiru. Kanji attached to this hiragana stem are read with on’yomi (感じる・かんじる・kanjiru “to feel”)

Nouns consisting of a single kanji are usually read with kun’yomi: there are a few instances of kanji with on’yomi reading only and in such cases… well, you have no choice but to read it with on’yomi, for example: 意・い・i “meaning” or 胃・い・i “stomach”, and well… there are a few f*&kers which have both kun’yomi and on’yomi, yet when standing on its own as a noun we read them with on’yomi, for example 茶・ちゃ・cha “tea”

Nouns/adjectives composed of two kanji, which DON’T have any hiragana stem attached to it are OFTEN read with on’yomi: that’s probably the least helpful rule since there HUNDREDS of exceptions: 1) two kanji compound read with kun’yomi 暗闇・くらやみ・kurayami “darkness”, 2) two kanji compound read with mixed readings 両手・りょうて・ryoute “both hands” (りょう is on’yomi while て is kun’yomi) 3) exceptional readings: 雪崩・なだれ・nadare “avalanche” (both of these kanji are normally NOT READ like this)

Nouns/adjectives composed of two kanji, which HAVE a hiragana stem attached to it are USUALLY read with kun’yomi: look at this example: 殺人 vs. 人殺し, the first one is read with on’yomi さつじん・satsujin “murder” and the second one with kun’yomi ひとごろし・hitogoroshi “murderer”, I suspect there are exceptions to this rule but I can’t think of anything right know

More than three kanji without a hiragana stem is usually read with on’yomi

To conclude this optimistic post, I’ll give you my personal advice. Kanji can be compared to printers: when they feel your fear and impatience towards them, they refuse to cooperate. Clear your mind, get rid of your desperation, look at the kanji and read it. 

Don’t TRY to read kanji. Just read them.
