Japanese Numbers 1-20 (Native and Sino-Japanese)

[Kokuyous3ki]

How do you count without using a counter word, above 10? I mean up to 10 you can use the native numbers. But after that... juusan-satsu (magazines, books) and such, but it bothers me somehow...

I'm currently learning Japanese and these Native Japanese numbers are still used today as counters for small items. But as for the Sino-Japanese numbers,

4: is both shi and yon

7: is both shichi and nana

9: is both kyuu and ku

Great :) I have heard the native numbers are dying out.. sadly..

It's true that the native numbers above 10 are no longer in common usage. I think it's been that way for a long time already, after the Japanese imported Chinese culture and language. However, the native numbers 1-10 are still very commonly used. Perhaps I'll make some videos explaining counters/numeral classifiers in Japanese, Chinese and Korean! (:
