No. That's 枚(まい).

To call a sheet of paper 部, things must be printed on it.

anyway would 20部 be pronounced as にじゅっぷ?
I'm gald you asked. It's にじゅうぶ .

Quote:
also about the number 1000, is it pronounced as せん or いっせん
Over 99% of the time, it's せん. When you really must emphasize the number, it's pronounced いっせん.

Quote:
ps kanji would be ok i'l check it up online for its pronunciation
Splended. I'll just use the easy ones for now.
