An alternate to counting days using 일일, 두일, 삼일 etc, we can also use the following special counting system:
하루: one day
이틀: two days
사흘: three days
나흘: four days
닷새: five days
엿새: six days
이레: seven days
여드레: eight days
아흐레: nine days
열흘: ten days
이틀: two days
사흘: three days
나흘: four days
닷새: five days
엿새: six days
이레: seven days
여드레: eight days
아흐레: nine days
열흘: ten days
Examples
