[@solmesteren]

Yeah @Paul How are you now? Finished neuroscience? Fluent on Japanese?

[@DArtagnonW]

I think it helps a little to prime your English-brain to count a "myriad" (archaic for 10,000) instead of "ten-thousand", then the Japanese doesn't seem so strange. 33,020 = three myriad, three thousand, and twenty. (If you find yourself writing $10,000 checks, I'm not sure if banks find "myriad" acceptable)

Is there a reason you have to put the ichi in ichi man? Previous units like sen or hyaku or juu didn't need this in your previous lessons.

[@Darnokk15]

For people watching this in the future and are wondering this: you just have to say it that way, it's not like sen, hyaku and jyuu

[@rosewhipple9923]

I think it's because Japanese breaks it's numbers up into units of man. It's kind of like how we say "one, ten, or a hundred" but then "one thousand" because english counts in thousands. I hope that helps (and is accurate) that's how I've made sense of it at least.

alright, this is where my counting started to fall apart, and i just kinda let it, because i don't often deal with these kinds of numbers. i got plenty of practice up to 9,999 with pokemon(exp points and the mart), but i never really saw 10,000 and higher in the wild. this has changed, however! i have since switched my youtube to japanese, and MOST videos have viewership in the man area. for example, i think this video has juu man views? juu man, san zen, happyaku, san juu, hachi 123,838 well anyway, i'm hoping to gain fluency in japanese counting this time >: 3 edit: ohhh i got tripped up. i think it's juu ni man!

There was a band at an event called Sakuracon in Seattle. A company that I owned at the time JapanFiles.com was the USA label for Girugamesh and we negotiated the contract. Sakuracon had someone make a commercial for the event and the commercial was SUPER cringe worthy. The term "Girugamesh" refers back to that moment in the commercial that was so cringy. Just look up Sakuracon girugamesh and you will understand.

[@Cathryn39]

Learn Japanese From Zero!​​ For me, it can be difficult if very specific numbers are involved. An example would be 97,375,842. When ever there's too many numbers, it messes with my mind, but with rounded numbers, I can translate them quickly.

[@japanesefromzero]

The important part is still to listen for the keywords so you can calculate DIGITS instead of 0s. I felt that was too much to do in that video so I held back.

[@carlosferreira7103]

Maybe this helps.. 54,555 First (5) its "man" because its 2 times thousand... "Go Man" = 50.000 Second (4) its "san" because its 1 time thousand... "Yon San" = 4.000 , 500 = "Go Hyaku" because "Hyaku" is used for the hundreds :) 50 = "Go Juu" because "juu" is used for every 10th number :P 5 = "Go" because "go" means five xD All together makes: Go man yon san, go hyaku go juu go (the coma isnt normaly there but only to help understand maybe...).

[@japanesefromzero]

I don’t want to discourage you but I am lost as to what this means. First thing I need to point out is that the math doesn’t add up. For example “man” isn’t 2 times thousand. That would just be 2000 even though “man” is 10,000. So it’s 10 times. You say that 4 is “san” but “san” means 3. This is most likely a typo. You probably meant to type “sen”. And you are correct that 1 x 1000 is 1000 but 1 times any number is equal to itself so I am not sure this helps. Hyaku is used for hundreds. This is true. But don’t forget that you can also have “go hyaku man” to mean a million. The “comma” isn’t in English when we write out numbers also so that also isn’t an issue. But if you are in a “coma” as you wrote, it’s very impressive that you could even write the comment that you did. I can assume that was a typo also or that medical technology has really progressed!
