  • If you’ve learned about counters, you probably know some of the most common ones already. But what about some more uncommon, or even obscure counters? In this video I’ll talk about some less commonly used counters that you might find useful (or not).

    I couldn't stop laughing. Your comedic timing is great and I learnt things to needlessly or put in my super simple and bad sentences. 😂

    As advanced learner, I really appreciate quirky content on obscure topics taught in English. There is tons of this stuff for Korean learners of English - but not much the other way around.

    These are good to know and funny. You should definitely make more of these "useless information" videos.

      I second this! This is one of the most wonderful parts of studying lamguages. Ironically, I think that these “useless” things can really bring out the personality and culture of a language. I’d eat every single useless information video right up.

    다스 was very interesting for me, here in Argentina we buy a lot of things in dozens, fruits, donuts, candies, eggs, etc. and is very very common.

    Is "다스" used as a counter or a number (or both) ?

    Billy, I will certainly delve into the unique counters presented here. Recently I bought some 떡 for 떡국 and noticed that it was sold in 2.7 pound bags and I became interested in traditional units of measure. Any idea as to why 2.7 lb is a good weight for 떡?

    What’s the word for counter in Korean? Like for example if I was speaking to a Korean person and I didn’t know the counter for houses for example how would I ask “what’s the counter for houses?”??

  • @constanza1648

    Useless counters:
    1. hand: ¿como en español una mano de plátanos?
    2. plank: ¿como en español una plancha de huevos?
    ...
    Creo que en nuestros idiomas tenemos muchos más "counters" de lo que pensamos. Solo que se nos hace raro verlos en otro idioma.
