In the previous article, I showed you greetings used when you say good bye.
Greetings - How to say goodbye in Japanese >>
In this article, let's check how to count numbers!
Before reading this article, I recommend you to check these videos to know the pronunciation!
Basic pronunciation for numbers are below:
| Number | Pronunciation |
|---|---|
| 0 | zero |
| 1 | ichi |
| 2 | ni |
| 3 | san |
| 4 | yon |
| 5 | go |
| 6 | roku |
| 7 | nana |
| 8 | hachi |
| 9 | kyu |
| 10 | jyu |
If you remember the numbers above, from 0 to 10, it is so useful!
After remembering the table above, please check your memory by using this quiz!:
Japanese Vocabulary Quiz - Small Numbers >>
There are some cases where the pronunciation changes, like '0 (rei)', '7 (shichi)', '10 (tou)', and so on.
But for now, you don't need to care about these cases.
It is enough for you to remember the basic pronunciations above.
Do you want to know more numbers?
OK!
Before we check larger numbers, you should remember the table below:
| Number | Pronunciation |

| 10 | jyu |
| 20 | ni-jyu |
| 30 | san-jyu |
| 40 | yon-jyu |
| 50 | go-jyu |
| 60 | roku-jyu |
| 70 | nana-jyu |

| 100 | hyaku |
| 110 | hyaku-jyu |
| 120 | hyaku-ni-jyu |
| 130 | hyaku-san-jyu |
As you can know from the table above, the important items are '10 (jyu)' and '100 (hyaku)'.
