Good to know
- Before a counter word, 예순둘 shortens to 예순두: 예순두 개 (62 things), 예순두 살 (62 years old).
- 육십이 is written that way but said [육시비]: linking (final moves to the next vowel).
How 육십이 is built
육십이 is 육 (6) × 십 (10) + 이 (2). 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 예순둘 has to be learned.
