Hi Alyssamyca
To counting money, you use the Sino-Korean form(일, 이, 삼...)
10,000원 만원 [마눤] or [마넌]
3,5500원 삼만 오천원 [삼만 오처눤] or [삼만 오처넌]
When you say the time, you use the Korean form(한, 두, 세, 네...;adjective) for hours, the Sino-Korean form for minutes.
1 : 46 ⇒ 한 시 사십 육 분 [한 시 사심 뉵 뿐]
8 : 25 ⇒ 여덟 시 이십 오 분 [여덜 시 이시 보 분]
When we counting months, we use the Korean form. Like 한 달, 두 달, 세(석) 달, 네(넉) 달...
Counting years: Sino-Korean form → 일 년, 이 년, 삼 년...
...age: Koean form → 한 살, 두 살, 세 살...
...floors: Sino-Korean form → 일 층, 이 층, 삼 층...
To counting weeks, you can use the Sino-Korean form, one thing you need to be aware of is that we say 한 주(일), 두 주(일) colloquially except 세 주, 네 주.... Well, 세 주, 네 주... sounds overlapping with some word exists in our head, for this reason we wouldn't say those.
