Answer 1

probably  

Answer 2

No they are both the same. What you encountered was two different kinds of counting. One will go hana, dul, etc. the other will go il, i, sam, sa, etc. Besides, you would never see North Korean writing online because the vast majority of them does not have internet access.

Answer 3

Yes, there are some differences between the Korean Language used in North Korea and South Korea (similar to the differences between British and American English), but basically, they&#039;re the same...

What&#039;s different though, is that some terms used in the North and South are, well, different...  for example, the Korean Alphabet is known as &quot;Hangul&quot; in South Korea, and &quot;Chosongul&quot; in North Korea...

Hope my answer helped you ^_^

Answer 4

Both counting versions are used in South Korea, it&#039;s just used in different contexts. For example, if you were to ask someone how do you say the number 3 in Korean, the answer would be Sam. You would use this if it had something to do with a number, like your age, or if you were giving someone your phone number. But if you were counting, for example, the number of times someone is spinning around, they would use Hana, Dul, etc.....
