everyone STOP ARGUING!!! Every language have their own complexity. Your inclination to lear ANOTHER language mainly depends on how you contruct grammar using your native language.

Amazingly, some language, like Japanese starts with a subject. Others start with verb. Others starts with the predicate. SO STOP ARGUING GUYS!!! Every LANGUAGE ARE UNIQUE!!!

Now all you need to learn is RESPECT and you'll be RESPECTED!

THANK YOU! damn I get tired of seeing arguments between stubborn or thick-headed people on videos like this! I agree too; it's not the subject, it's the learner!

@joshfiend10 If you want to learn more sentences in japanese and better fluency, check out my playlist (on my channel) called Japanese Lessons. Really. You should start from lesson 2: lesson 1 is just about greetings

Great, thank you.

For the one like me that are learning.

These are basic counters (really good ones) but there are lots, and lots of them, so keep searching.

And.. yes, as she said, there are come changes according to the quantities, eg.

hiki changes for piki, nin changes for hitori or futari (one person, two persons respectively), etc, etc so, if you are interested keep searching.

Thank you so much.
