How to Count in Japanese (1 to 1 Million+) 🇯🇵

[@yeskev]

My problem has always been my speed. The more I practice, the faster I get but it feels like there must be some other ways to increase my recall speed.

[@misterwhyte]

Fun fact: English used to have a word for 10,000 and you probably all know it. It's "myriad". It fell out of use and became a synonym of "plethora". Great vid as always! I'm still new to Japanese but numbers don't seem too hard compared to some other languages. :)

[@stuart5236]

Moreover isn't myriad ancient Greek?

[@misterwhyte]

@@stuart5236 Yep, and you can find that very word in all the Latin languages, as well as some of the Germanic languages. In all of them the meaning changed from 10,000 to "a lot". Most likely people back in the day didn't really count past 10,000 very often, so it made sense to have a word for it as well as using it to describe a large number of something (just like we'd say "I have a million things to do"). With bigger numbers becoming more common, the initial meaning became kind of useless and only its metaphorical one remained. Only a few Asian languages kept using 10,000 as a unit, as far as I'm aware.

[@petargolubovic5300]

@@misterwhyte That's really interesting! Thank you

[@ChiggaChiggaBruh]

@misterwhyte I'd imagine another reason it fell out of fashion is because it feels sort of anomalous in English counting, since unlike Asian languages, since any number past 100 we group by 3 before making a new name

Born and raised in Japan. I have never seen a Japanese who, born and raised in Japan, speaks English as well and fluently as you. I am amazed!!

What a creative way to celebrate your 1 M

[@_WhyIsEveryHandleTaken.]

this is probably the best channel for learning Japanese! I'm glad it's growing faster then ever!!! I have been here since near the beginning, and just have been watching her grow and grow, her channel growing by the second! I cannot express a better "thank you" to her, other then "Arigatou gozaimasu! Gozaimasu Sayaka Sensei!!!" She has done so much to help me learn, in fact, about 89% of my knowledge of Japanese comes from her, おめでとうございまさ！

[@PokeWhalee]

I'm telling you right now, my brain fried

[@IvanSaesee-c9k]

bruh my brains is fried to i started counting in Korean lol my previous language i learned

[@BlingBlingDubuLove]

I just started learning Japanese and came across your channel. It’s been so helpful to see the breakdown in language like this. I’m also Korean so the counting system is basically the same, which helped me follow this video better!

[@cloudkitt]

I remember when first learning Japanese finding it pretty fascinating that there would be a distinct word for "tenthousand" and that you would count from there (Making a million "100 tenthousands"), just because it highlighted something you would never think of. Where you make those divisions is completely arbitrary. Fun perspective changing moment. Still very tricky to change your way of approaching numbers though, and it's easy to zone out when someone is saying a long number. And congratulations on the subscribers!

[@AllForSol]

Wow high quality educational videos that are free??? The future is here

[@ArtiaYoung]

I was so happy for you to hit 1M. 🥳💖 You deserve this. You have helped so many people with Japanese, including me. I've learned so much, and this made it all more fun. Thank you so much for everything you have done for us! ありがとうございます! ❤😆

2:31 As an Arab I can’t describe how happy I’m that someone finally said Arabic numerals and not English numerals 😅

[@リザベラ先生]

I've never heard anyone say latin numerals LOL.

[@bgriffiths1840]

Latin numerals (Roman numerals) are entirely different. They represent numbers with Latin letters. I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X. If someone is saying Latin numerals for 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 they are miseducated.

[@Relaxihub]

So sorry I meant English numerals , I got confused again so sorry and thx for correcting me

[@JumboX1]

Me too seeing that gave me a very fabulous feeling hahaha

[@bewooyall]

ME TOO ME TOO OMG ITS SO COMPLICATED😭😭😭😭

[@lukascampidell9376]

@@bewooyall It isnt that much more complicated, the only difference is that in japanese you group 4 digets instead of 3

[@ruschein]

@@bewooyall English is just as complicated! You have to learn unnecessary words like "eleven", "twelve", ... or "twenty", "thirty", ... etc. which you don't need in Japanese because you just say "ten-one", "ten-two", ... and "two-ten", "three-ten" etc. So, overall Japanese is not significantly more complicated compared to English!
