There are two distinct ways to say the number "40" in Korean. One is the "Sino Korean" (influenced by Mandarin Pronunciation" and the other is the "Pure Korean" way, which is what villagers in Korea used before Chinese influence.
The Sino-Korean was is pronounced in English like this (Not following any romanization method, but using real world pronunciation):
Sa-Ship.
"Sa" Means "4" and "ship" means ten. So Four-Tens.
The pure Korean way is pronounced like this:
Mah-heun or Ma-hoon.
There is no particular reason it is pronounced like this.
I know it is confusing as to what numbering system to use in Korean given a particular situation, but remember a few helpful tips:
Things (especially people) are usually counted in Pure Korean format, especially age and numbers of people.
Sino-Korean will be used whenever the number amount is greater than 99.
