Pregunta de Coreano

When do you use the korean numbers (하나, 둘, 셋) and when do you use the chinese numbers for counting (일, 이, 삼)?

I know that the chinese numbers are used for money, but what else?

하나 둘 셋 is used when you are counting something
(eg. Let's see.. how many eggs we've got here? one, two, three, four.....)
in this case we use 하나 둘 셋

일 이 삼 is numeric system
it is usually used with Arabic numbers.
for example two plus one equals three is 일 더하기 이는 삼이다
because in this case we are not counting something
