Counting Numbers:
NIHONGO In this lesson, you will learn how to count numbers in Japanese.
CHAPTER 4 To memorize the numbers easily, all you need to do is to master or memorize
the number from one (1) to ten (10).

Let’s count from 1 to 10!


Let’s Count Numbers!
1 ichi 6 Roku
2 Ni 7 Nana/shichi
3 San 8 Hachi
4 Yon/shi 9 Kyuu/ku
5 Go 10 Juu

If you have mastered the numbers in Japanese from 1 – 10, it is


easy to count from 11 to 99. You just need to follow these steps.

Step 1. For number 11

Juu (10) + ichi (1) = juu ichi (11)

For number 17

Juu (10) + nana (7) = Juu nana (17)

Let’s try your skill.

1. Twelve =
2. Fourteen =
3. Sixteen =
4. Nineteen =
5. Thirteen =
Let’s count by Ten (10) Let’s count by Hundred (100)

10 Juu 60 Rokujuu 100 Hyaku 600 Roppyaku

40 Yonjuu 90 Kyuujuu 400 Yonhyaku 900 Kyuuhyaku
50 Gojuu 100 Hyaku 500 Gohyaku 1000 Sen/issen

Step 2. Step 3.

For number 56 For number 236


(Let’s use hypen to emphasize the numbers.)
go (5) + juu (10) + roku (6) = gojuuroku (56) nihyaku (200) + sanjuu (30) + roku (6) = nihyakusanjuuroku (236)

For number 78 For number 689

Nana (7) + juu (10) + Hachi (8) = Nanajuuhachi (78) Roppyaku (600) + hacjijuu (80) + kyuu (9) = Roppyakuhachijuukyuu (78)

For number 92 For number 808

Kyuu (9) + juu (10) + ni (2) = kyuujuuni (92) Happyaku (800) + hachi (8) = Happyakuhachi (808)

For number 44 For number 975

Yon (4) + juu (10) + yon (4) = yonjuuyon (44) Kyuuhyaku (900) + nanajuu (70) + go (5) = Kyuuhyakunanajuugo (975)

Let’s try your skill. Let’s try your skill.

(Let’s use hypen to emphasize the numbers.) (Let’s use hypen to emphasize the numbers.)
sanzen (3000) + happyaku (800) + nanajuugo (75) = sanzen-happyaku- ichiman (10,000) + nisen (2000) + yonhyaku-gojuu-roku (456) = 12,456
nanajuugo (3,875)
For number 54,781
For number 8, 913
goman(50,000) + yonsen (4,000) + nanahyaku-hachijuu-ichi (781) = 54,781
hassen (8000) + kyuuhyaku (90) + juusan (13) = hassen-kyuuhyaku-
juusan (8,913) For number 87,639

For number 1, 564 hachiman(80,000) +nanasen(7000) + roppyaku-sanjuu-kyuu(639) = 87,639
