Counting 100-99,999
Counting in Japanese can be a bit tricky, but once you get the hang of it, it's quite straightforward. The key is to understand the patterns and rules that govern counting in the hundreds.
In Japanese, counting in the hundreds follows similar multiplication rules, where the number is multiplied by 100. For example, to say 200, you would say "Ni hyaku", which is "two" multiplied by "hundred". This pattern continues for all numbers in the hundreds.
Here's a breakdown of the numbers in the hundreds:
Notice that numbers with four, seven, and nine have fixed pronunciations, and there are also sound changes in 300, 600, and 800. These patterns are consistent throughout the hundreds, making it easier to learn and remember.
To give you a better idea, try counting from 100 to 900 using the patterns above. You'll see that it's quite straightforward once you get the hang of it.
