To put together numbers like "17" or "35" you just write the tens number followed
by the ones number. Thus,
17 = 열일곱
35 = 서른다섯
Note: when they precede a “classifier” (such as the word for “o’clock” when telling time), numbers ending in digits 1-4 and the number 20 change as follows:
하나
becomes 한
둘
becomes 두
셋
becomes 세
넷
becomes 네
, and
스물
becomes 스무
