[keithfan77]

[4566mimi]

lol i'm going to go to japan any day so this was helpful!

[pimpshiza]

Sweet, I even know how to do it now w/ an Australian accent.

[blackdevil2722]

So fifty five hundred is: Go-sen go-hyaku? Or Go-ju-go-hyaku?

[LoliComplicated]

5500 is gosengohyaku. If you encounter a 1, like 1000, 100 or so. 100 would be hyaku. 1000 would be sen. 10000 would be man. So 11111 would be mansenhyakujuuichi and not ichimanichisenichihyakyujuuich­i.

[ShinoGod]

lol great vid man, though one thing that i think he should have mentioned is that you can also use yon for 4, from what i understand shi is also one word for death, and because of this a lot of people choose to use yon instead, not wrong either way, but best to know both :] if im wrong please let me know and please please give a source

[LoliComplicated]

You're right.

[SPS148669]

That's Base 10 Decimal.

[milenyj666]

Nice lessons ^.-

[ninjashinobu]

So how would you say numbers like fifty five hundred in japanese?

[posix27]

go sen go kyaku

[LoliComplicated]

5500: gosengohyaku.

[Gogandantess8]

thnx my japanese mate!

*bows* Sayonara!! :D

[kattunlover1]

[fushiaxxx]

[gearmarcusfenix202]

other than that not bad

[gearmarcusfenix202]

1 itche 2 knee 3 san 4 shee 5 go 6 rouku 7 sichi 8 hachi 9 kyuu 10 jyuu 11 ju-itche etc....this dude sucks at describing it though so blame his bad english i learned from karate to count in japanese to like 90...from there....clueless

[kick1996]

booorrriiinng...

[312827JCK]

I'd like to know if that make on his face just wonder.

[billybobthortansbro]

nice shirt

[Awesome1601]

ye you're right, his shirt is really nice ...

[NoobAiyo]

what is 'yonshou'?

[sogood]

I think hayaku is hurry up while hyaku is 100. . .

[chrian09]

wait how do you say the numbers 1 through 10 in japanese.

[CamCam8771]

ichi, ni, san, shi, go, rocku, nana, hachi, kyu, jyu

[inksoup]

4 and 7 also go by another name.

4 can be shi or yon and 7 can nana or shichi

I don't actually know why just these two have alternative names so if anyone can tell me I'd be quite interested =)

[lcedink]

The number 4 which is shi has more than one meaning. It is said to be a unlucky number since shi also means death in japanese. So they try to avoid saying shi and replace it with yon instead.

[tyxrimp7]

i thought 4 meant death in chinese well oh thx for the correction

[magnusdammit]

I was just about to say, everyone I know says shi, and when I took japanese, I was told yon. Thanks for clearing that up

[rickylai98]

1 is itchy 2 is ni 3 is san that's all i know

[laeht]

I'm annoyed so far Hyaku means:

Hurry

Higher

and now 100?

WHICH IS WHICH???

[aztecmija]

what are you freaking out about? can you imagine what it's like to have to learn english and your next lesson is the words there, their, and they're? lol. english is one of hardest languages and watching these videos makes me so thankful sometimes, and only sometimes, that it is my first language. i'm still working on spanish. heck, i'm still working on english lol.

[animedork101]

I think you're confusing Hyaku (100) with Haiaku (hurry).....

[evedachick]

zero , ichi , ni , san yon , go, roku,nana,hachi ,kyuu.

[RPGholic]

roku, SHICHI, hachi, kyuu

people these days use shichi more than nana cause it's more informal, good for those studying ungeek versions of japanese. lol.

[EmmaaJonaas]

konichiwa <that is all i can say :( arigato <AND THAT! GUESS WHAT WE GOT TO STUDY JAPAN IN GEOGRAPHY BUT WE FINISHED IT :( IT WAS REALY FUN LOVE THE CULTURES the YAGI family were nice:)

[edv11nas]

When you will learn not to say "thank you". Watchers should thank you for making videos ;D

[DirEnGay]

100 = Hyaku

1,000 = Sen

10,000 = Man

100,000,000 = Oku

1,000,000,000,000 = Cho

10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000­,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,0­00,000,000,000,000,000,000,000­,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 = Muryotaisu (10x88)

[sawamanha]

hehe, at 1:20 he says: mkayy

[clash382]

ahah thats hilarious

[jackie3590]

arigato, sensei

[blvk3]

how about zero, how to say zero, sensei

[SanCloud]

零（ぜろ）

[Izoto593]

zei

[DirEnGay]

Rei or zero.

Personally I prefer to say zero. Make sure you use Japanese vowel sounds though and not English.

For instance the phone number of my area code is 01302 - ******. Which translates to

Zero ichi san zero ni (no) ******

The "(no)" indicates a dash between area code and your phone number.

[brandowgg]

He has an Australian Accent.

Were you taught English in Australia or by an Australian?

[keutykat]

that helped alot thanks ^^

[Godzilla10k]

1,000 looks like a 4 and 10,000 looks like a 5

[blvk3]

thousand =　千

ten thousand = 万

[00boxer00]

You cant even speak English, so button it you muppet!!

[piotreceq]

I am Polish :F

[RoyalKnightVI]

REALY? Kool!

[asianchicrocs]

japenese numbers are like chinese but in chines this - means on e and you say it as eee

but its spelled yi

[ameramer30]

so how do i say 5324 in japanese ???

[Caceres72]

go-sen san-byaku ni-juu-yon

[piotreceq]

五千三百二十四

[asianchicrocs]

thats in chinese!

im chinese are you?

[BdeBakan]

Domo Arigato Sensei. Sayonara.

[ptfcny]

Kanji is actually taken from chinese

[aifos7801]

what's the difference between Juu and juupon?

[qelery]

So 891 would be hachi-hyaku-ku-ju-ni?

[onhalfpower]

hachibyakukyujuichi.

[tompkins2004]

happyaku-kyuju-ichi

[KyleCorcoran]

What was the word you used for 7? I was always taught "nana"

[sashiburidanaryuk]

there are two ways for says 7:nana and schici

[KyleCorcoran]

I talked to my friend's grandmother who's japanese and she said nobody uses nana. She said shichi is the more common use for 7.

[kanroame]

I'm Japanese and we do use "nana" quite often.

For example, you never say "shichi sai" for "7 years old" but "nana sai".

For counting things, nana is much more popular than shichi.

ex. "seven sheets of paper"="nana mai no kami"

"seven pencils"="nana hon no empitsu"

keep on working! : )

[bluejay44]

Yea a lot of times it can depend on what comes after it, so that making the sounds is easy and natural.

[100princess001]

I like nana better though:P

[Daerkell]

Thank you very much! Very useful to hear the real thing from a Japanese!

[magyarilevi]

thanx from Transylvania

[Ch0tt0Ch0tt0]

Sigh...lighten up man.

If the rest of the world has already put the past behind why dun you do the same as well?

[Clerkenwellkid]

Why do you just go to all these videos and comment? Shut up man!

[hondarainbow]

あなたは本当の先生みたいですね、凄いです＾＾。こうゆうアップ­ロードがあると日本語を学びたい人は助かりますね。

[9cuetes9]

what?

[Ch0tt0Ch0tt0]

Urm...four kinda means shi/used before numbers before ten and yon/for numbers beyond ten.Seven equals shichi for numbers before ten and nana after.By the way,Takanori's marker seems almost out of ink..^^.

[eijikikumaru15]

hello chotto, i just want to clarify if shi used before the number 10? and shichi befor the number 10? so if im going to count, it should be: ichi, ni san, shi, go, roku,shichi, hachi kyu ju? is that correct? pls reply.. thanks

[Ch0tt0Ch0tt0]

Yep,that's correct.Replace Shi with Yon and Shichi with nana after ten.Thanks for asking!

[SoWatsItToYou745]

and so on, all you do is put the #, folloed by 10. for 20 it is nijyu, niichi,so on. and 100 is hyaku (hi-yah-koo)

to make 200 it would be nihyaku

1000 is sen (2000 is nisen)

and 10,000 is man (60,000 is rokuman.

for then they put the (,) after every 4 digits insted of 3 like us so 10,000 looks kinda like this in japanese: 10,0000yn

hope it helps i little more.

bai bai

[SoWatsItToYou745]

please forgive me if i am wrong: ichi ni san shi/yon go roku nan/shichi hachi kyu jyu ichijyu nijyu shiyon

[kaulitzangel00]

Hey I Think I Know You... You Were On A Video Of LM.C s On One OF Those Dvd.s ...

[ImmortalBlackThunder]

Cool vid. I'm learning japanese as well. I can count from ichi to gohyaku. But I don't know how to say 600 in japanese though. could it be rophyaku?

[blueeyeswitheyeliner]

Yes, It's Roppyaku, that's the annoying part. You have to memorise the things that change like ; ( ippon, nihon, sanmbon) It gets a bit frustrating :PP

[HATnSANDALS]

So then with "ni jyu" being 20, would "ni jyu ni" be 22?

[blueeyeswitheyeliner]

Yeah :))

[UbuntoO]

We came here to learn to count and then you spead throught the 1-10 so fast we couldn't understand a thing after Ich and ending in Ju.

Sorry you went so fast.

[blueeyeswitheyeliner]

Ichi Ni San Shi Go Roku Shichi Hachi Kyû Jû But keep in mind that that is only how you count. When you are counting; forexample humans you don't say Ichi for ONE human. You say Hitori ( wich also can mean Alone?) But I don't think that the point of this video was to learn you how to count to ten. I think it was more, showing a bit of how the system works ;))

[tragicdamsel]

umm what is seven? "nana" or "shichi"

[blueeyeswitheyeliner]

It depends:P

When you count, you count Shichi and not nana, the same goes for shi, Which there also is another - yon.

Confusin' ne?

well, Nana and Yon, are the "japanese" numbers. But the "originally" numbers, has its roots in china.

So when you just count to 10 you mostly ( doesnt really matter) use shi and shichi. But when you for an example; tell someone you'r telephone number you use Nana and Yon.

(I think the same goes for Zero/rei.)

[ruudolfss]

They say nana for seven since it can't be easily confused with ichi or shi. It doesn't matter which you use when simply counting to 10.

I heard they don't have rows no. 4 and 9 in airplanes since "shi" and "ku" both have inauspicious meanings.

[Alkku7]

But if you want to be sure, dont ask people who's from somewhere else than Japan..

[ruudolfss]

I heard Hitomi of japancast use different words for "seven" when counting from 1 to 10 and back. I'm quite sure she's Japanese.

[2chibi4u2]

i say nana but it might have a different way of saying it ^_^

[TenorSaxy]

it is both . it doesn't really matter which one you use ... but if you use nana for 7 , then use yon for 4 . [and vice-versa .]

also , because shi means death in japanese , shi and shichi are considered unlucky numbers ~ just thought i'd throw that in . XD

[MekaMeka916]

dang shame im half Japanese and cant speak a lick of it...LOL! or understand it...hehe

[a3i8r0a380]

its ok, i'm greek and my mom never taught my siblings and myself greek so currently, i dont know greek but i am learning japanese.

[MekaMeka916]

HA! I dont feel so bad now! Actually, I have alot of friends who are half/half like myself and even Arabic friends who were born here too and dont speak thier own language! Greek is a hard one too. I find Japanese, Arabic, Chinese and Finnish are hard ones. I dunno, but thats my opinion! Thanks for comment back! :) Take care!

[a3i8r0a380]

o yea all of those languages are hard. taks care aswell.

[maestroioda2]

grazie sei grande!

thank u you're great!

grazie mille da Napoli

[nachan94]

learning japanese in english and being german is pretty funny XD

[nicPA9]

Japanese sounds funny!/Japanisch hört sich lustig an!

[carbonsteoroxcide]

oh ok try this to translate to nihongo..

"where is the CR here? I need to pee."

thanks to the one who will translate it..

[Wamuigi]

what's a CR? maybe you mean WC ;)

[choidlr]

I'm guessing the person who'd typewritten that is Filipino. 'CR' elongates to Comfort Room, or restroom, and it's part of the Filipino lingo.

[arkhah]

lol

[KageRal]

Theres still a "Pyaku" for Hundreds..

Ropyaku = 600

[EmosLastKiss]

=D Arigatou!

I never know if I'm saying things in the right way haha XD

[duffman48]

How do you say "Where's my cup?" In Japanese?

[zivitigger]

I think it's "cup wa doko desu ka?"

or maybe "cup wa doko ni arimasu ka?"

something like that...

[KageRal]

I think it's "cup wa doko desu ka?"

That's right ^^

Watashi no kappu wa doko desuka?

In Hiragana: 私のカップはどこですか。

[zivitigger]

ども　ありがとう　ごやいます　:-)

[LilMooCow]

Maybe you should write a script or practise beore filming because it can be rather hard to follow at times, but still helpful - thanks =)

[nahemon]

domo arigato,sensei.i try to learn to count the numbers in japanese.anyway i like japanese too.

[sorewa2010]

私はこのオンラインの多くを教えることを望む

[sorewa2010]

教授をありがとう

[Lin147]

Thank you for the videos they really helped me alot :]

[robynoo]

why are there two different words for 100?

when would you use each one?

thank you for making the video anyway, I having been learning in a while and it's refreshed my memory.

[ShutTheDoorKen]

Because the same '100' suffix isn't used after each number word when counting up in 100s.

As follows: Hyaku, Ni-hyaku, San-byaku, Yon-hyaku, Go-hyaku, Rop-pyaku, Nana-hyaku, Hap-pyaku, Kyu-hyaku.

[Metroidfan02]

what exactly does san mean?

[Astheroid]

I think it's 3, but "sa" and "n" is like a suffix for names like "Minosan" or "Wansan"...

[Callum027]

San is 3. San is also an honorific (well, a suffix you can call it) which you say with someone's name to say it politely. Like "Takanori-san".

[kanjitard]

Or mountain. Fujisan = Mt. Fuji.

[chad5161]

lol no no no. Fuji is BIG. "san" is meaningful to something of honor or great power or of that sense. that is why it is call Fujisan, not because it's a mountain but because it is big, that's all

[kanjitard]

Dude, one on-reading of 山 is actually "san" so 富士山 Fujisan = Mt. Fuji.

[chad5161]

yes i know, but it means like superieriority, dude

[tatorkc]

Hmm, you have an australian-ish accent mixed in with japanese, it seems. ^~^

[barnacleheadsama]

domo arigato gozaimasu takanori sensei.

[freestylex69x]

what does gozaimas mean?

[nathanthekiller]

I've heard that a couple of times to. I think it's something like "VERY MUCH". I've heard it been said "Aragotu gozaimas" But i don't know much about japanese so i'm not certain.

[Callum027]

Well, I don't know either, maybe it's a way to say something politely, like "Ohayou" just means Morning, but "Ohayou Gozaimasu" means Good Morning.

[RudivanHemert]

domo arigato gozaimasu is if i'm right: thank you very much for learning.

[DarkKilgorin]

Ok so just making sure 285 would be:

"Ni hiyaku hachi jyu go."

right?

[kerensam]

Right.

I look at it as: two hundred eighty five.

Or for 10,560: ten thousand, five hundred, sixty.

For 11,678: ten thousand, one thousand, six hundred, seventy eight.

it's kinda like you're saying each decimal because you're "adding" it on.

[katmiche3]

I'm glad that you have these classes on how to speak katakana japanese. It helps me a lot! Could you write the words in a darker marker so I could see it better?

[KouSnake]

It would be better to call it yon in most situations. =/

[liamuzumaki]

[carmellos900]

arigatou gozamimasu I LOVE JAPAN

[Leader10ca]

These videos are very good. I have a general question, do Japanese people use honorifics when speaking in English? For example if a tourist named "Hank Jones" was visiting Japan, would his tour guide refer to him as Mr. Jones, Jones-san, Hank or something else? Thanks.

[ayumilove]

To leader10ca:

well it depends on which of the first name you place first, the Japanese would refer to your first name since you are a foreign person. For more information, check out my Japanese lessons on the names ^_^

[Leader10ca]

Thanks.

I know that Japanese has somewhat extensive system of honorifics, and Eglish is way less formal but do Japanese people who work in the tourism sector know when to use English honorifics?

For example if American CEO is visiting a Japanese company, referring to to his given name would be considered odd, it would better to use the honorific "Mr." and then his name.

Canadians thought it has disrespectful when Bush referred to our PM as "Steve", instead of Stephen.

[LUNITUNZ]

I thought 4 was "Yon?"

[RaGe0rge]

Yah, it can be shi or yon

[Callum027]

The same goes for 7, it can either by Shichi or Nana

[kakkoiguitaaplayer]

let me see if i understood, ni hyaku is 200 then, ni hyaku ni is 202 ? is that right???
