Express, gonna complete all 6 themes by today. So lets allow the lesson to start:
- one=ichi=
- two=nii=
- three=san=
- four=yon=
- five=go=
- six=roku=
- seven=nana/shichi=
- eight=hachi=
- nine=kyu=
these are basic numberings,seven is usually read as nana. Now we will go to ten's
- ten=jyu=
so if ten is jyu, twenty=nijyuu=二十. Its just like Chinese, take the basic number and put jyu behind it. if lets say 15=jyugo. most of the numbering concept is just like Chinese. Also for numbers with seven like 57, u read it as gojyunana=五十七. so now lets go to the Hundred:
- hundred=hyaku=
- three hundred=sanbyaku=
- six hundred=rokpyaku=
- eight hundred=hapyaku=
other than those mentioned above, such as 200,400 and so on will be the same as adding in the basic number and hyaku.for some reason, 300 is sanbyaku and 600 & 800 has a stop accent and pyaku.
the thousand is also interesting:
- thousand=sen=
- three thousand=san zen
for thousand, three is the only one with special case using zen for its pronunciation. Other than three thousand,
the other thousand goes on with the same concept. let me say thi for the last time then, whatever the value is, just add a number the value's name and then the number. here's an simple equation:
[number (1~9)+Value(eg; ten thousand million)
Also, unlike English and other language, japan have no ten thousand nor hundred thousand, after thousand is million and so on...
- million=man=まん(万)
- billion=oku=おく(億)
