Native Korean:
*counting objects, which are then followed by counter words e.g. minutes, people, bottles, points, etc.
*age
Sino-Korean:
*money
*math
*weight/distanace/anything you measure
*phone numbers
*used for large numbers >100
Telling time combines the two: hours uses native korean, minutes uses sino. There's plenty of exceptions for both number systems so it gets a little jumbled/complicated.
Just listing whatever is at the top of my head, there's plenty more :)
