10 000
ichi man

20 000
ni man

100 000
ju man (10 000x 10=100 000/ichi manxju=ju man)

100 000 0
hyaku man

100 000 00
ichi oku

(I hate numbers T_T, with 600 and 800 there is something like 'roppyaku' and 'happyaku', but ignore that for now. I will look it up. If you say: 'roku hyaku' or 'hachi hyaku' they will understand you.)

Now one for fun:
111 111 11

(Please try it yourself first and then read the answer.)






Answer/way to solve it:
111 111 11
ichi oku hyaku ju ichi man ichi sen hyaku ju ichi

XD Do you understand this?:
ichi oku = 100 000 00
hyaku ju ichi man = 111 000 0 ('man' has 4 zeros)
ichi sen= 1000
hyaku ju ichi = 111

(These numbers are so big that even I cannot fully understand it or be completely sure that I am right. But it's just to give you an idea.)

Very clear, arigatou.

Arigatou gozaimasu for this second lesson, Nyuka-sensei! <3

I tried to solve your question, but I was completely wrong. XD My answer was: ju ichi hyaku man hyaku ju ichi sen hyaku ju ichi. XD

Numbers in Japanese sure are difficult, Nyuka-sensei! But I'll do my best

May I ask how you learned Japanese this well, Nyuka-sensei?

I teached myself, and I dare to bet that I've watched at least 5 times the anime you have. Or any person on this forum for that matter. I watch my anime in Japanese with English subs, so that's why it's easy for me to teach english-japanese or reversed.

About your solution:
I don't think you're completely wrong, as I've said. I don't know completely sure either. It's hard to tell when you have no real-life teacher. But I do believe that it's ichi oku instead of ju hyaku man. XD ichi oku is much shorter after all.

Haha, I suppose people will keep calling me Nyuka~sensei from now on. XD Well, that's fine by me. I have a person at my school that actually calls me Nyuka~sensei in real life. XD

I'm no good at remembering numbers! ;o; Can I ask if there are any easy ways to remember? Like a song or something? XD

Onegai? ;o;

Hahah, yes you, ^_^
A song? Hmm... I'll try to think up a song. XD


Ichi wa ichigo.
Ni wa nii-san.
San wa atashi. (Me = Nyuka-san.)
Yon wa yondaime! (4th hokage Naruto. XD)
Go, wa, go! Go! Go!
Roku wa. Not a dress. XD (Dutch people = rok-u-)
Nana wa. O_O
Hachi wa 8!
Kyu wa kyuubi. (Naruto)
Ju wa the end!

Haha. XD
