In Korean, the counter 잔 (jan) is used to count cups or glasses of beverages. It’s typically used for things like coffee, tea, or any drink served in a cup or glass. You just add the number in front of 잔 depending on how many cups or glasses you’re referring to.
Here’s how you would use 잔:
- 한 잔 = one cup/glass
- 두 잔 = two cups/glasses
- 세 잔 = three cups/glasses
Example sentences:
Structure: noun + number + counter
- 커피 한 잔 주세요. = Please give me one cup of coffee.
- 물 두 잔 마셨어요. = I drank two glasses of water.
