Good to know
- Before a counter word, 여든둘 shortens to 여든두: 여든두 개 (82 things), 여든두 살 (82 years old).
- 팔십이 is written that way but said [팔시비]: linking (final moves to the next vowel).
How 팔십이 is built
팔십이 is 팔 (8) × 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 여든둘 has to be learned.
