Not a Newb not the master
So of course I'm here to ask about Japanese. :D
I want to know how to write numbers 1-1,000,000. Also how to pronounce them. Starting small so thats all for now. |
I know that....
1 - ichi 2 - (pronounced "ni" but not sure how it's spelt) 3 - san 4 - chi 5 - (pronounced "doe" but not sure how it's spelt) |
its fairly simple:
0) zero/rei 10) ju 1) ichi 11) juichi 2) ni 12) juni 3) san 13) jusan 4) yon/shi 14) juyon/jushi 5) go 15) jugo 6) roku 16) juroku 7) nana/shichi 17) junana/jushichi 8) hachi 18) juhachi 9) kyu/ku 19) jukyu/juku 10) ju 20) niju 30) sanju 90) kyuju 40) yonju 100) hyaku 50) goju 5oo) gohyaku 60) rokuju 1,000) sen 70) nanaju 5,000) gosen 80) hachiju 10,000) ichiman do u see the pattern? good!;) |

Yoroshiku onegai shimasu. (Note: Insert your name in the blank, but do not add a suffix of any kind to it (i.e. -san, -chan, etc). Hope this helps |
Is that how you pronounce it all. Do I sound out all the vowels?
|
In japanese, there is only one way to pronounce the vowels.
As for sounding out, clarify please. |
Well in spanish you have to pronounce each vowel always. Do you hear each vowel in all these words or are some of them silent.
NOw I need the alphabet |
can you put it in romaji
|
do people still commonly use honorifics?
|
Okay guys. I have flashcarded everything here thanks for all you help. I will learn japanese like I learned spanish.
Next I need to learn sentence structure. Along with phrases such as HOw are you. I am [not]fine And other commonly asked questions. |

corrections: Ohayoo to make it easier, anything with "ou" should be "oo, according to my book. Konnichi wa Konban wa Moshi moshi |
@Miyavifan
There are several systems of Japanese romanization. While the one from your book is not wrong, it's less common than the other two ways I see more often. Usually it stays 'ou', or else an accented ō is used. I hate romaji :P |
