Not sure if someone has said this, but a good way to practice is to go to an online random number generator, you can type in your limits (I'm sticking to to 1- 9999 for now!) and just try and call out the numbers it gives you. I can never learn stuff from just reading it, so this was quite helpful. (Love these vid's George!)

[@dachshunddoggo2764]

@@sumanboi in japanese, there is a system of adding a suffix to a number, it provides context on as to what kind of item it is, such as [number]-kin, is for breakloaf, -dai is for machinery, -nin is for amount of people, -mai is for sheets of paper, -tsu is for general objects (making it the vaguest that can be used anywhere) There are discrepancies with pronouncing some numbers, which makes the counters more difficult to learn I like the system though, providing context is great

[@melopc]

百 was bek in middle Chinese. It is a regular sound shift in Japanese to shift the initial b to h. The original B pops out here and there. 日本 Nihon vs. Nippon. This occurs most often when the word is preceeded by an "entering tone" 入聲, the characters ending in p t or k in Chinese. Usually entering tones are either split into 2 syllables in Japanese (k became ku, like 六 liuk, ryoku, t became chi, 八 bat hachi, p became u, 十 zip > juu , or dropped. In 六百 ryuk bek , the k got assimilated by the initial b and got preserved.

[@japanesefromzero]

Ray Cui Woah... information bomb. I honestly can't process this much at once. But did you know that in Korean "bek" is still 100.

[@melopc]

Learn Japanese From Zero! yes, Korean preserves certain middle Chinese phonology better than Japanese and Mandarin. p and k are essentially identical while the final t changes to -l. For example 一 is it in MC. il in Korean and ichi in Jap, 七 is tsit in MC. chil in Kr, sichi in Jp. Initials and vowel shifts are more irregular, but can still be classified based on a Chinese rhyme book.

[@japanesefromzero]

Ray Cui - You should write a book. I wouldn't buy it but there are certainly some people who love this style of information. You could call it "The phonology of the impending evolutionary and social shifts in the vocal voicings of Chinese characters throughout Asian descendant nations." The subtitle would be "An exhaustive look into origins and final resting place of the Chinese hieroglyphical System of related iconic data through speech." :P

[@miku3955]

Yup, keeping the 入聲 in mind helps me remember which combinations will have "irregular" pronunciations like 六百, 八百, 一杯, 十分.

[@qinnn25]

In mandarin chinese , " 百 " is called bai , so close to bek .

[@breannamudgett2172]

For those who are interested, basically in the electoral college you need 270 votes to win. There's a total of 538 possible votes. 538 comes from the total number of senators and representatives in congress. Every state has at least 3 electors (2 senators and at least 1 rep). You actually vote for the electors who then vote for the president. They generally will vote for the person they were pledged to but are allowed to change theirs votes except in 26 states +DC where electors are bound. The electoral college was created as a safety net to prevent the common people from picking a bad president. The 270 comment kind of woke up the AP Government kid in me.

I love this series George. Numbers are way more fun to say in Japanese. I love their logic with counting numbers. I remember when I first started Japanese, I already knew how to say from 1-1000. Can't stand the way we count numbers in English, By the way, 720 Pokemon is the current amount of Pokemon, but with the new Pokemon Sun and Moon game coming out, there will be more than 720 Pokemon. At the moment it's 720 but there's going to be more Pokemon. Funny that you mentioned 999 with England's Emergency Number, they mentioned it recently in a Pokemon Go incident with some people in England who got lost in some cave.

[@TripleMugen4678]

Melbester9. I agree with you that counting numbers in Japanese is more fun than it is in English and counting in Japanese is close or about the same as it is in Spanish. English is my first language and Spanish is my second language and I can speak both fluently (exception here and there in saying certain things/words/sentence structures at times in Spanish but you get the jist of it.).

Hey! Not sure when you made this video but as of August 8th there are actually 721 Pokémon that are obtainable in the games! The new generation is coming out in November, which will likely kick it up to over 800, but nobody knows until then! Volcanion (BORUKENION, which is probably where you thought the 'K' was from) was revealed alongside 722 Magearna (MAGIANA) for the newest movie that came out mid July. :) Not a huge deal, but an interesting tidbit that people who surf the comments decades from now can look back on...in which case I envy you future reader, for you have seen all quite possibly thousands of Pocket Monsters.
