How do you say the word "episode" in Korean? I looked it up in a dictionary and the three words that they gave do not match the word that I see when i watch Korean dramas. Also, the syllables for the word always seem to be separated by the number of the episode. 제희?

Answer

나타샤, you are correct. 제1화, 제1회. both are correct. 
The difference is   제1화: '화' means story, episode. so it means  '1st episode'.
'회' means the sequnece of event. 
We can see both of them on drama.
 
By the way,  '화' is only for the story, episode it used in darama,novel..
'회' is used generally in sequence things , 
Ex) 제 3회 동창회: 3rd skool reunion, they held the  ceremony third times'
제116회차 복권 당첨 번호 on the lottery , (제)58회 정기 모임 on the meeting, 제 5회 결승전 on the game..et cetera.

Answer

In TTMIK book about numbers it is said that 제1화  means 1st episode and that in this expression, sino-Korean numbers are used. I checked several Korean drama and beside 제1화 I saw also 제1회. TTMIK book says this means 1st event so I am a little confused.
