Quick Facts
- Japanese numbers are divided into two sets: the native Japanese numbers and the Sino-Japanese numbers.
- The native Japanese numbers are used for counting objects, while the Sino-Japanese numbers are used for telling time, counting money, and expressing dates.
- Counting in Japanese is based on groupings of four instead of three like in English. For example, 10,000 is considered a basic unit in Japanese counting.
- Japanese numbers have special readings for certain numbers, such as 4 (shi) and 7 (shichi) to avoid bad luck associations.
- When counting objects in Japanese, the counter word (a specific word used for counting different types of objects) must be used along with the number.
