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.

Your teaching skill is very nice. You always try to teach daily useful words in Japanese. Appreciable!

[@Maplesyrup_wcue]

Me every few minutes: “that’s genius!!”

[@_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！

[@soraelkiasking2790]

There is a dude, who made a song which was going like "ichi juu hyaku sen, ichiman, juuman, hyakuman, senman..." That's why i know how to count in japanese 😁

[@imnotbeluga007]

[@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!

[@austingotwalt]

I learned how to count 1-10 in Japanese from taking Shotokan karate classes as a kid.

[@ramasaki6595]

Japanese guy living in Europe here. Imagine meeting English counting system after spending over 25 years in Japan. It was quite tough to get used to count especially more than 1,000😂

[@cjdoesall]

Thank you so much. Very informative. Very well explained in one video. I'm currently learning Hiragana and Katakana so this video was really helpful. I was even able to recognize some Hiragana straight away. You got another subscriber. Thank you and congratulations on 1 Mil

[@KumaraPanditaratne]

[@asrehman100]

Great way to teach! Thank you

[@alextarasau]

Thank you so much for this lesson ❤👍👍

[@guanhaowang9208]

That’s only about memorizing pronunciations for Chinese Japanese learners, cuz we use exactly the same counting system and even literally the same Kanji if u are Taiwanese using traditional Chinese characters.

[@RainDrop-mi8sq]

Congratulations Sayaka-sensei! You deserve this and thank you so much for your hard work on each and every lesson. Sayaka fam is going to grow even more

[@NihongoDekita]

Great Job. As a number fan I had to wait till my favourites came in my Chinese A1 course because they came last. It's interesting that you use packages of four Digits.

[@zhaochen2487]

Thanks for the lesson. This is quite straightforward for Chinese to learn, same rules 😊

[@brovaco]

[@dotalegendery3998]

congratulations thanks for the great content

[@Sassyxnini]

I never thought that learning the 3rd hardest language will be this much easy and fun so , thanks Sayaka sensei and congratulations for this much followers ❤

[@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!

[@richardcopeland5934]

Congratulations on one million subscribers. I really enjoy learning Japanese numbers and words. You make it so simple to understand without complexity. After all, it is a fascinating culture, and one day, when I vist Japan. I'll use what I've learnt from you. ❤
