  • @simmervet Those all are parts of Sino-Korean and Sino-Japanese vocabulary.

    Those words are of Chinese origins, that got adopted by the Japanese and Koreans when they began to use Chinese writing system (Hanzhi). Hanzhi = kanji = hanja

  • @simmervet It's not true. Japanese are not Hokkiens, they don't even belong to the same group of people.

    The reason why Japanese numbers sound a lot like Hokkien is that because Japanese adopted the Chinese numeral system with China's hanzhi (kanji), replacing the old original Japanese one, "hitottsu, futatsu, mitsu, etc." The import of Chinese numeric system is just the early stage of Sino-Japanese vocabulary development.

  • @simmervet and my point is only like 2 of numbers sounded alike
