what do japanese usually use in 4 and 7 I'm confused because in the description there are two words that can be use.

[JapanSocietyNYC]

@joanaaquino91 You can use both "yon, or shi" for 4 and "shichi or nana" for 7. However if you are counting 40+ , it should be pronounced as "yon jiu" for 40, "yon jiu yichi" for 41, "yonjiu ni" for 42; and so on. As for 70+, it will be easier to pronounce " nanajiu", "nanajiu ichi" for 71 and so on. Both ways of speaking are right for 4 and 7, it just depends on which one is more comfortable for you when you speak.

Sorry but is 6 pronounced Locku or Rocku? and is 2 nee or nyee? 9, is a Q or koo sound? I know it's a bit of a nuance but I'd like to get as close to the correct pronunciation as I can and I'm not too sure if I'm hearing it correctly or not. Thanks.

[JapanSocietyNYC]

@nowgleaning 6 is "roku" the ku is pronounced like koo or coo. 2 is "ni" and is pronounced like the knee on your leg
