달들
The English phrase "the months" is translated into Korean as 달들.
Did you know?
- The way Koreans name the months is highly mathematical. Instead of unique names like 'March' or 'August', they simply use the number of the month followed by 월, such as 삼월 for 'third month'.
- In Korean, the word 달 (dal) refers to both 'the month' and 'the moon'.
- While 달들 is the literal translation for 'the months', Koreans rarely use the plural marker 들 for time units.
