Hanja: Week 2

Another week, another Hanja post! Who was doing it with me this past week? Did you find that first set of Hanja easy or hard? I guess I had a leg up on it, since when I was teaching myself a little bit of Chinese last year I had to learn those characters for the numbers 1 to 10 XD

This week we’ve got a few Hanja with waaaaay more strokes. Don’t let it daunt you though; I find 每 and 週 pretty fun to write!

Hanja: Week 2

• Hanja
• Notes

時 / 시 / time, o’clock
半 / 반 / half
分 / 분 / divide; minute

週 / 주 / revolve, cycle; week
曜 / 요 / day (of the week)

Notes:
When time is written by the use of hanja, remember to read the hours with the native Korean pronounciation and the minutes with Sino-Korean. So for example, 十二時 is read as 열두 시, not as 십이 시, while 十八分 is read as 십팔 분.
