Japanese Glot : lEARN TO COUNT FROM 0 TO 100

Japanese Numbers: 0 to 10

As we learn the units from 1 to 10, creating multiples of ten in Japanese follows a simple structure:

Unit (1–9) × 10 (じゅう | juu)

This means:

• 10 (じゅう | juu): Base number
• 20 (にじゅう | ni juu): Two times ten
• 30 (さんじゅう | san juu): Three times ten
• 40 (よんじゅう | yon juu): Four times ten
• 50 (ごじゅう | go juu)         : Five times ten
• 60 (ろくじゅう | roku juu)     : Six times ten
• 70 (ななじゅう | nana juu)    : Seven times ten
• 80 (はちじゅう | hachi juu)   : Eight times ten
• 90 (きゅうじゅう | kyuu juu): Nine times ten

Forming Numbers from 11 to 99 in Japanese

Now that we've learned the units (1 to 10) and the multiples of ten, forming numbers from 11 to 99 in Japanese is like playing a puzzle or making orders!

The Structure

• 11 to 19:
  It's simple! Just use じゅう (juu) + unit to form the number. For example,
  11 is じゅういち (juu ichi) (ten + one),
  12 is じゅうに (juu ni) (ten + two), and so on.
• 21 to 99:
  The structure gets a bit more complex. You first combine the multiples of ten (unit + じゅう (juu)) and then add the unit at the end. For example,
  21 is にじゅういち (ni juu ichi) (two tens + one),
  35 is さんじゅうご (san juu go) (three tens + five), and so on.
