Years in Korean from 1900 to 2050

In Korean, “년” (nyeon) means “year.” In Korea, years are often written using the Korean alphabet and numerals. To make things easier, I’ve put together a handy table that shows how years from 1900 to 2050 are written in both Korean and Revised Romanization of Korean.

The table provides an easy reference to see how each year is represented in Hangeul and how it is transliterated into Romanized form. For example, the year 1900 is written as “천구백 년” or “1900년” in Korean, which translates to “Cheon-gu-baek nyeon” in Romanization. Moving forward to 2024, it’s “이천이십사 년” or “2024년” in Korean, which translates to “I-cheon-i-sip-sa nyeon.”

Table Overview:

Year: The Western-style numeric representation of the year.

Hangeul: The Korean spelling for the year using the Korean alphabet.

Revised Romanization of Korean: The standardized Romanized form of the year.

Hangeul Numerals: The Korean way of writing the year using hangeul numerals.
