Wow! In Japan we also use 正 for tallies. My guess is that this practice originated in China and was later spread to Korea and Japan (and possibly other countries in the Sinosphere).
The other country that you are "not sure of" sir is Vietnam lol. We Vietnamese alongside China, Japan and (the two) Korea(s) form the "East Asian Cultural Sphere" (東亞文化圈, Hangul: 동아문화권 /dong-a-munhwa-gwon/; Japanese Romaji: Tō-a bunka-ken; Chinese pinyin/Cantonese Yale: dōngyà wénhuà quān / dung1 aa3 man4 faa3 hyun1; And in Vietnamese: Đông Á văn hoá quyển)
In Korean, usually 한자문화권 (漢字文化圈) is used rather than 동아문화권 which is quite alien to native speakers. Wikipedia sometimes suggests strange information to us.
I like the way teacher Billy teaches. Thanks to you, I can know the Chinese character 正 called "정". I just use this letter as a tally marker at a restaurant. Haha. Thank you for such a good lesson~
I saw this character on variety shows or when idols using this and I wondered why they tally or collect votes like that. Now I know the meaning behind it. Thank you, 쌤!
Please do more videos about hanja please, I know most of hangul now, but some people say it's better to know hanja too, that it will help understanding hangul.
Great video, Billy 선생님. I like that it's short. You've already succeeded in making hundreds of videos on your channel for people who actually want to learn Korean. I think you're doing well by making short and interesting videos like these! Plus, you don't edit them so much or use so much humor. :-) It's good to make funny scenes, but sometimes, something simply works just as well!
I don’t learn the very characters but I learn the sounds and meanings (like 동 - same; winter; child; move etc). So knowing a lot of characters (or rather syllables) helps a great deal. First you memorise new words easily and second you can even guess unknown ones. I know now may be 400-500 character syllables and keep learning.
I would love more of this stuff! Also some more Korean history stuff. I am not sure if you are still in Korea but it could be cool to have videos visiting historical landmarks while explaining big moments n stuff
That's fascinating. I think I misread this character when I was young, and instead did it with 五. Which is five, so it made sense to me. Because I didn't grow up in Korea, I was never corrected on this misattribution. To this day, I tally using 五... I probably should switch to 正. Whoops.
On the topic of Hanza, in my studies, K has stronger connections to Hokkien, Cantonese than Mandarin ( though in later words the Mandariness is clearer) Eg, Hakgio, Hakseng are SO Hokkien! In as in Hankook In (so Hakka) Kek (guest or customer) also Hakka. In fact, in any hanja word 90% it is not mandarin if there is an Bachim as Mandarin does not, but Hokkien and Cantonese and Hakka do. OH and, Sik (to eat) is so Cantonoese!!! Em Ak (music) cantonese-ish, Yiahk (Medicine)? Yok in Cantonese but Yaw (!!) in Mandarin.
when i first started learning korean (maybe 2 weeks after i think) i was gonna start learn Hanja but my boyfriend (he is korean) told me not too bc its not that important to learn since a lot of people don't use it anymore
I rlly dont wanna be this person but plzzz can someone tell me what my name would be, I've seen like 15 diff ways to write it including(to be slaughtered, colorful ik) and I just wanna know😭
When you someday visit a restaurant with a paper menu, you'll write down the quantity of an item you want to order. That will be done with this character.
Wow! In Japan we also use 正 for tallies. My guess is that this practice originated in China and was later spread to Korea and Japan (and possibly other countries in the Sinosphere).
正 in Chinese means straight. Yes this tally system is also used in China
한자 with Billy😊👍 we need this more 😎👍👍👍
Thank you!!could you do more videos with hanja??
Yess we want to see more hanja lesson plss, 감사합니다 선생님^^

But do you use hanja in Vietnam still?
@@Rotek10000 no. Unlike Koreans, Vietnamese students dont have to learn Chinese characters, except for those learning Chu Nom, Chinese or Japanese

한자 수업이 더 있었으면 좋겠어요~
Please do more videos about hanja please, I know most of hangul now, but some people say it's better to know hanja too, that it will help understanding hangul.
Yes please more Hanja! Thank you!!
Please more videos like this...
Omg, I totally saw this in a Korean drama recently and was immediately curious. How perfect that you made a video about it! Thanks!
Great video, Billy 선생님. I like that it's short. You've already succeeded in making hundreds of videos on your channel for people who actually want to learn Korean.

How useful your videos are, I love you man ❤💯
I'm from Brazil and we also use the box system!
from now on I will start to use the 正 system to impress people here
Yes please more Hanja!
한자 수업을 더 해주셨으면 좋겠어요~ 기다릴게요 빌리 선생님!
I always like learning Chinese characters.
It would be really great to learn more hanja!! its super useful, and it helps me with memorizing words that are related
I would love to see more videos like this teaching 한자!
We always use 正 for counting something.
I don’t learn the very characters but I learn the sounds and meanings (like 동 - same; winter; child; move etc). So knowing a lot of characters (or rather syllables) helps a great deal. First you memorise new words easily and second you can even guess unknown ones. I know now may be 400-500 character syllables and keep learning.
A Chinese can guess the corresponding hanja with ease, since they have similar pronunciation in Chinese:
same - 同
winter - 冬
child - 童
move - 動
Exactly I guessed the same as the person above me… Not knowing the hanja characters could be confusing
Yes, we want more videos like this please. Thanks for you quality content!
Mm I’m from Ecuador and I was convinced that the square system was universal!
Interesting. I didn’t know about the square system until now. And I’m 42 :) I’ve travelled a lot but mostly in Asia , so I’ve never seen the square
I'm Ecuadorian too and I thought the same
It's used in China , Taiwan, HK too as tally symbol
wow that was interesting! I’ve been seeing that character a lot but now I know what it means!
Thank you for this video. As a beginner, the thought of learning hanja causes anxiety, but this was a very gentle introduction. 감사합니다, 선생님!
This was an interesting lesson!
Really good video
keep it up billy
More hanja lessons please~~
This is so cool! Again, I love that this is so practical.
thanks
Hi Billy, loved this hanja lesson, it is very useful. Could you please more hanja lessons?
I would love to see more videos of Hanja classes^^
I love Hanja lessons!
I would love more of this stuff! Also some more Korean history stuff. I am not sure if you are still in Korea but it could be cool to have videos visiting historical landmarks while explaining big moments n stuff
Could you do more videos like this one? I think 한자 is important for every korean learner
Super intresting! Thanks teacher!
Okay wow! This was a complete (no pun intended) lesson for me… never heard of nor seen this before! 😮
Thank You For this great lesson so Informative 😃😃.
That's fascinating. I think I misread this character when I was young, and instead did it with 五. Which is five, so it made sense to me.

I would like to learn more about how the hanja were created initially. What are the original concepts?
Really easy,i know this character as chinese and japanese student..also like to learn some Hanja..Thanks,and amazing chanel...
That was very interesting. Thank you.
Thank you!
This is great explaining one at a time is easier than having many at once that i forget what the first one was
thank you, this was very interesting!
Thank you for the lesson ❤️
한자 수업을 이렇게 더 만들어 주세요! 🙂

All your lessons are interesting because you are good teacher
Greetings from Philippines I'm your new student 😊❤️🇰🇷
So helpful!
감사합니다 선생님
Wow, that looked very familiar! You could easily do a whole hanja series. That would be fun.
Yes please.
I think this is very useful.Even if it’s used in other countries it’s also used in Korea so would help to learn! :)
This is also used in china. I remembered we used in students vote. Did not know it was invented in Korea.
In the beginning of the video I mention that it's from Chinese.
thanks!! do morr
韓国でも"正"使うんですね！！
한국에서도 正을 쓰는군요~~😳
How the heck did you manage to write in mirror image? Realized that in the middle of watching, which amazed me! Or it's done in post-edit?
It's flipped :)
this way of tally also used in China.
Yesterday I saw this being used in a drama. They were counting votes.
Wow I recently came across this "counting system" in a manga and wanted to look up how it worked so this video came out at the perfect time lmao
넓고 깊은 빌리 선생님♡!
Surprised I actually knew this one, only from knowing 1 through 10.
Wow... I learned something good before I went to bed. Thank you.
I'm having geshutaruto houkai lol. It starts looking like the loss comic after a while
when i first started learning korean (maybe 2 weeks after i think) i was gonna start learn Hanja but my boyfriend (he is korean) told me not too bc its not that important to learn since a lot of people don't use it anymore
I made a video about that here: ruclips.net/video/ExaFV19R-qU/видео.html
@@GoBillyKorean omo tyy
Please do a hanja series!
Now I understand what the mother in While You Were Sleeping was writing 😅
이 영상에 쓰인 정의 뜻은 "바를 정" 자입니다
YAY SOMETHING I UNDERSTAND :>
Is there a keyboard for hanja?
The regular Korean keyboard can input Hanja using the right Ctrl key.
Thx! But how do you do it on an iPad??
@@DerpyMonaLisa I don't own one so I can't comment, but you'd need to download a keyboard that supports it.
I rlly dont wanna be this person but plzzz can someone tell me what my name would be, I've seen like 15 diff ways to write it including(to be slaughtered, colorful ik) and I just wanna know😭
Thank youu
한자 4급 따놓고 몇년 안보니까 다까먹음 현타오네

Korean sushi? It is called 김밥. It's much wider than Japanese sushi
He said "Korean owned sushi restaurant" not Korean sushi 😅😅.
Looks like I E alphabets
Why would you use a tally system in a restaurant? Lost you🙈
When you someday visit a restaurant with a paper menu, you'll write down the quantity of an item you want to order. That will be done with this character.
@@GoBillyKorean never seen it in Israel. Thank you so much for explaining!
