사용 참고사항

When referring to a specific century, we almost always use the definite article 'the' and an ordinal number (e.g., the 19th century). In casual speech, it can be used hyperbolically to mean a very long time.

⚠️

자주 하는 실수

Learners often forget to use 'the' before the century name. Another mistake is confusing the number of the century with the years (e.g., the 1900s is actually the 20th century).
