Five games take this set and a full pass takes a minute. Warp Run rewards knowing them cold, which is the point: a question word you have to stop and think about arrives too late to be useful.

Questions

Eolma or myeot?

Eolma asks how much something costs. Myeot asks how many, and it goes in front of a counter: myeot si is what time, myeot myeong is how many people. English uses how much and how many; Korean draws the line in a slightly different place.

Mwo or mueot?

Both mean what. Mwo is the shortened, spoken form and the one in this set. Mueot is the full written form, and you will meet it in books and on forms rather than in conversation.
