"구두 열 짝"

Translation: Ten dress shoes

[Chloe_Chimene]

Is this 10 shoes or 10 pairs?

[Staszek456]

짝 - singular shoes, socks and gloves counter

켤레 (South Korea), 컬레 (North Korea) - pair counter (for shoes, socks and gloves)

구두 열 짝 - 10 shoes

구두 열 켤레 - 10 pairs of shoes (20 shoes in total)

구두 열 짝 = 10 shoes = 5 pairs ?? So if we want a pair of shoes whe have to say 구두 두 짝 주세요???

[Woodsman72]

I realize that Google Translator is not the right tool for the correct translation but it says that "구두 두 짝 주세요" means "Give me two pairs of shoes" so who is right?
I would like to ask any native Korean to express her/his opinion here in this matter ...

[N3vahNabi]

Shouldn't the translation be ten "pairs of" shoes because we're talking about shoes and they always come in pairs?

[ruthyfruti]

I'm confused... Is 잒 a pair or just one? I wrote ten pairs of shoes... It marks it wrong

[troublemaker_tw]

Oof I accidentally typed dress sneakers

[raemation]

Can 구두 also be heels?

[LiKenun]

They can be: 여성구두 (literally: female shoes)

[Staszek456]

There is also 하이힐 used in South Korea

[MattChoi2]

Yes :)

[NineTreasure]

what is dress shoes??? open shoes? ???

[kebzzi]

Something usually made of leather like Oxford shoes.

[YiHoSan22]

as in a previous post i believe that '짝' refers to a pair and it should be acceptable to indicate that when translating from korean, i.e.: 10 PAIR or dress shoes, because we rarely speak of individual shoes, usually pairs of shoes
