Because Arabic numerals are too underrated… Let’s see if we can reach 百。
一
二 @Awesome-Aasim
In Chinese, we would always add an 一 to the front of 百. That is true for any numerical denomination except for 十 and anything that starts with it.
For those of you who want to participate, you can just recognize that the counting system works like this:
一
二
三
四
五
六
七
八
九
are 1-9
10 = 十
11-19 = 十＃
20-99 = ＃十＃
Where # is a digit from 1-9. The digit is left empty for “zero”.
(This is a continuation of AA’s post) If we chance to get into numbers with one or more zeros stacked in the middle of several non-zero digits (i.e. 3,001), just say 零 in the place of zeros. When there are several zeros in the middle like in our example above, only say one 零. That will make it 三千零一. Though I said earlier that 十 is not preceded by an 一, one exception is in numbers such as 3,010 and 6,012 you would add 一 to the front of 十. 八
十
I have to type “to” and not “ju” to get this for some weird reason.
十一 Also, my post above is a reference to the Chinese way of counting, not necessarily the Japanese way (though I do know some Japanese).
You’re very much correct!
十四
石榴 (For everyone who wonders what that is, this means “pomegranate,” which is a homonym of 十六.) xD xD xD
Hope I was correct… ni-ju?
