Today I'll teach you numbers.
The numeration of japanese is not so difficult to understand.
Let's try!





















I think you've already got how to count and I guess you feel it's easy to remember!


first remember how to count 1 to 10.
then remember the number by each ten times classes like, 10, 100, 1000, 10000.

10 = jyuu
100 = hyaku

・101 = hyaku + ichi, we call like ' hyaku ichi '.
・200 = ni * hyaku, we call like ' ni hyaku '.


lets see other numbers

・555 = go * hyaku + go * jyuu + go = go byaku go jyuu go
・123 = hyaku + 2 * jyuu + san = hyaku ni jyuu san

see? it's not difficult at all right?


then lets go and see other classes!

1000 = sen
10000 = man

・1111 = sen hyaku jyuu ichi
・4321 = yon sen san byaku ni jyuu ichi
・22222 = ni man ni sen ni hyaku ni jyuu ni
・98765 = kyuu man haseen ( hachi + sen ) nana hyaku roku jyuu go



❖ note ~ "hyaku" and "sen"'s pronunciation changes in following cases

・after 3 (san)
　　300 = san byaku ······not san hyaku
　　3000 san zen ··········not san sen

・after 6 (roku)
　　600 = roppyaku ········not roku hyaku

・after8 ( hachi)
　　800 = happyaku ········not hachi hyaku
　　8000 = hassen ··········not hachi sen

soo
・8300 = hassen san byaku
・3600 = sanzen roppyaku

have you got it?
hope you have fun with learning japanese

see ya!
