There are three of us.

1. Try it in Korean

At a restaurant, the staff asks how many people are in your group.

Say that there are three people.

Say your answer out loud before opening the model answer.

2. Show the answer & listen

세 명이에요.

se myeong-i-e-yo.

Open the audio

Repeat in short chunks

  • 세 명
  • 이에요.

명 is the usual counting word for people. 셋 becomes 세 before a counting word, so 세 명 means “three people.”

Close the answer and say the full sentence again.
