"Ten pairs of dress shoes"

Translation: 구두 열 짝

[Jet677837]

A pair of shoes should be 구두 한켤레. 짝 refers to one of a pair. So 열 짝 is 5 pairs.

I would translate into 열켤레의 구두

[LiKenun]

It's interesting how the word was borrowed from Japanese (靴/くつ) by transliterating the phonemic sound (구두) instead of the phonetic sound (구츠).

I'm sure there's a modern standard for Japanese-Korean transliteration and that it prescribes a phonetic approach (as opposed to phonemic), but I cannot seem to find it at the moment.

구두 is counted with 켤레
