A Simple Guide to Using Japanese Numbers in Real Life (Course Preview)
Japanese numbers are easy to learn, but how you use them depends on the situation. Once you understand the basics, you’ll start noticing numbers everywhere—restaurants, shops, trains, and daily conversations. https://www.skool.com/japanese-in-real-life-1835/classroom/5b4ed240?md=80b3936ce99a43b3a855bec2f6ba6fa0 Basic Numbers (1–10) - 1 一(いち / ichi) - 2 二(に / ni) - 3 三(さん / san) - 4 四(よん / yon) - 5 五(ご / go) - 6 六(ろく / roku) - 7 七(なな / nana) - 8 八(はち / hachi) - 9 九(きゅう / kyū) - 10 十(じゅう / jū) Numbers in Real Life: Counters Matter In Japanese, numbers often change depending on what you’re counting. These are called counters. People - 一人(ひとり / hitori)– one person - 二人(ふたり / futari)– two people - 三人(さんにん / san-nin)– three people At restaurants, you’ll often hear: - 何名様ですか? (Nan-mei sama desu ka? – How many people?) - 二人です。 (Futari desu. – Two people.) Time - 一時(いちじ / ichi-ji)– 1 o’clock - 三時(さんじ / san-ji)– 3 o’clock Money - 100円(ひゃくえん / hyaku-en) - 1,000円(せんえん / sen-en) A Useful Tip You don’t need to master all counters at once. Start with: - 人(people) - 円(money) - 時(time) Japanese people are very understanding, and using the correct number—even imperfectly—goes a long way. Learning numbers isn’t just counting; it’s learning how Japanese is actually used in daily life.

We have two way of basic reanding for Kanji, On-yomi and Kun yomi (many Kanji have sounds more than two though). To read numbers, On-yomi is 「Ichiいち、Niに、Sanさん、Shiし、Goご、Rokuろく、Shichiしち…」、Kun-yomi is「Hiiひい、Fuuふう、Miiみい、Yoよ、Itsuいつ、Muむう、Nanaなな…」. Not only 4 and 7, we have different way of reading in numbers. But sometimes, we say ichi, ni, san, yon(should be SHI) ,,, just because hard to comfirm which number. Sounds similar SHI and SHICHI , or ICHI.
Hello everyone! My name is Akiko.
Hello everyone! My name is Akiko, and I’m a Japanese language teacher. I am very passionate about learning through community, and I strongly believe that studying together, supporting one another, and staying connected are essential for real language growth. At the same time, I truly enjoy teaching within a community and actively interacting with everyone. In this SKOOL group, I look forward to participating in discussions, answering questions, and helping create a friendly and supportive space where everyone feels comfortable practicing Japanese. Please don’t hesitate to ask questions or join the conversation anytime. I’m excited to learn and grow together with all of you! みなさん、はじめまして。日本語教師のAkiko(あきこ)です。 私は「コミュニティを通じた学び」に強い情熱を持っています。一人で勉強するよりも、仲間と一緒に学び、支え合い、交流することで、日本語はより自然に、そして楽しく身につくと考えています。また、コミュニティの中で教え、みなさん一人ひとりと積極的に関わることにも大きなやりがいを感じています。 このSKOOLコミュニティでは、質問に答えたり、会話に参加したりしながら、安心して日本語を練習できる場を一緒に作っていきたいと思っています。間違いを恐れず、ぜひたくさんアウトプットしてください。 みなさんと一緒に学び、成長できることを楽しみにしています。どうぞよろしくお願いいたします。 Thank you, Akiko あきこ
