'Double (두 배) my allowance this month!' 'Do you know what 두 배 means?' 'Two boats? No — just twice!' 'It could get cut in half!'
倍 — splitting and multiplying. Double: one becomes two. 倍數 multiples: of two, 2, 4, 6. The 배 in boat and pear are native — same sound only.
半 — an ox split in half. 折半 broken in half, 半年 half a year, 半圓 a half circle. 'Half a pizza! A half moon too!'
倍 grows, 半 divides. 'Double then halve — back to one!' 'Multiply and divide live in the characters.'
'Instead of double, let's talk again in half a year.' 'Half a year? Six months! Then — double!'
두 배는 곱하기, 절반은 나누기였어요.
