I thought for Sino Korean numbers, the number 10 is pronounced "Ship/Shib" not "sib"?

hanja is exactly like chinese~ It's easier for me to catch the hanja part...haha.

i learn my korean number from my cellphone, it has this menu that allows the phone to scream it out loud everytime i push any button..so it's pretty embarassing everytime i use my cellphone in public..it keeps shouting "Il!" "Sam!" "Sa!"...and everyone will look at me like "What the hell is that??"
well anyway, just wanna share it..it's an Anycall anyway, my cellphone, and it has these freakin' features (in hangul!!)that i found very interesting, but i dunno how to use them...*sigh*

Thanx again!!!

But in

아주머니 - ajumoni - Aunt (Formal)
아줌마 - ajumma - Aunt (Informal)
아저씨 - ajussi - Uncle

Ajumma/Ajussi would be more.. for like "ma'am (ajumma), mister (ajussi)". Like you meet this man, you would call him Ajussi. Same with Ajummas. A term more used for older woman. especially married women.. or with children..

You could call Ajussi for even a guy... even if he's not that much older, you wouldnt randomly call him "Oppa" ... like if he forgot his wallet you dont call out "Oppa!" if you dont know him or etc... so "mister" would be a better option.

Ah-ga-ssi would mean young miss. 아가씨

Mother's side

eemo - aunt
sam (a = ah) choon - uncle
eemo-bu = husband of aunt

Father's side

gomo (go+mo) = aunt
samchoon = uncle
gomobu = husband of aunt

ah. Romanization is harder than I thought TT.TT
