TOPIK 1number

사

sa

Sino-Korean · dates, money, minutes, phone numbers, floors (사 층, 사월)

four

Example

사월에 꽃이 많이 피어요.

Lots of flowers bloom in April.

Word parts

사 four

Considered unlucky, like 13 in the US.

Good to know

The number 4 (사) sounds like the word for 'death', so some elevators show F instead of 4 for the fourth floor.
