To count flat items like sheets of paper, photographs, tickets, or even thin flat objects like cards in Korean, you use the counter 장 (jang).
Here’s how you use 장:
- 종이 한 장 = one sheet of paper
- 티켓 두 장 = two tickets
- 사진 세 장 = three photos
Example sentences:
Structure: noun + number + counter
- 종이 한 장 주세요. = Please give me one sheet of paper.
- 사진 두 장 찍었어요. = I took two pictures.
- 티켓 세 장 샀어요. = I bought three tickets.
You just add the appropriate number before 장 to count flat items. Note that 장 is also used to count T-shirts.
