Wizard’s Wisdom: Classifying Nouns

In Korean, when counting common nouns, you need to use a ‘counter’ word or classifier. For example, to say ‘two books,’ you would use the counter word 권 (gwon) for books. So it would be 책 두 권 (chaek du gwon), literally ‘book two counter.’ Counters are essential for proper counting in Korean!
