Tips to remember:
• Think of 수 in words like 수학 (suhak, “mathematics”), which is all about numbers, so associating 수 with numbers can help you recall its meaning.
• Notice that 수 sounds like “soup”—imagine “number soup,” a mix of various digits—to create a quirky mental image.

Explanation:
• 수 (su) is the Sino-Korean word for “number,” used both in mathematical contexts and in compounds.
• It comes from the same Chinese character 數 and is seen in many terms related to counting and mathematics.

Other words with similar meaning:
• 숫자 (sutja) – a more common word meaning “number” or “digit.”
• 번호 (beonho) – often used when referring to a specific number such as a phone number or ticket number.

Alternate meanings:
• In some contexts, 수 (su) can also refer to “method” or “possibility” when used in grammatical constructions like “할 수 있다” (hal su itda, “can do”). Here, it represents the means or potential to achieve something, not the mathematical number.
• There isn’t any widely used slang meaning for the standalone 수 as “number.”

Example sentences:
1. 이 수는 매우 큽니다.
Romanization: I su-neun maeu keumnida.
Translation: This number is very large.
