[warau-okami]

My favorite phrase in Japanese.

いちごいちえ : one moment, one meeting, or this time only, once in a lifetime

It’s the idea that every encounter is different and every minute is different so you should cherish every one.

[nodoyodobenkyou]

What do you want to study?

I’m away from my personal computer right now and, as such, I do not have access to my Japanese keyboard- So this whole post will be in English. 

But I wanted to ask you guys; What sort of things did you want to study? I see us all as study buddies, and I have neglected to ask what grammar rules, or types of vocab lists you all would like to work on together, I am sorry that I didn’t ask sooner! 

So, what do you want to see some posts on? Maybe another look at the Te-form, and how to make it? I’m learning about -Kute right now in my personal studies, so there will be a post on that soon-ish. 

Anything you all want to learn about I’m willing to start researching so that you can have some people to study with on the subject you’re focusing on, or struggling with. 

Leave a comment, or shoot me a message with your ideas! I’m sure we can learn some new things together!

Japanese Counters

Counting in Japanese may seem difficult when you first try to tackle it. That’s because of all of the different counters used. Instead of thinking of them as a new speaking rule, try to think of them in the same way as they are used in English. For example; 12 PIECES of paper 6 SLICES of pizza 4 BOWLS of soup and so on Here are the counters you’ll need to know

 人(にん/ nin) > People 

  一人 (ほとり/ hitori) > one person 

 二人 (ふたり/ futari) > two people 

 三人 (さんにん/ sannin) > three people 

 四人 (よんにん/ yonnin) > four people 

 五人 (ごにん/ gonin) > five people 

冊 (さつ/ satsu) > Bound Objects  

一冊 (いっさつ/ issatsu) > one bound object 

二冊(にさつ/ nisatsu) > two bound objects 

三冊(さんさつ/ sansatsu) > three bound obj. 

四冊(よんさつ/ yonsatsu) > four bound obj. 

五冊(ごさつ/gosatsu) > five bound obj. 

台 (だい/ dai) > Mechanical Items 

一台(いちだい/ ichidai) >one mechanical obj. 

二台(にだい/nidai)> two mechanical obj. 

三台(さんだい/sandai)> three mechanical obj 

四台(よんだい/yondai)> four mechanical obj. 

五台(ごだい/godai)> five mechanical obj. 

杯 (はい/ hai) > Liquid in glasses, cups, or bowls 

一杯(いっぱい/ippai)> one cup/glass/bowl of 

二杯(にはい/nihai) > two cups/glasses/bowls 

三杯(さんはい/sanhai)> 3 cups/glasses/bowls 

枚 (まい/ mai) > Thin Flat Objects -

二枚(にまい/nimai)> two pieces paper 

三枚(さんまい/sanmai)>three pieces of paper 

四枚(よんまい/yonmai)>four pieces of paper 

五枚(ごまい/gomai)>five pieces of paper 

本 (ほん/ hon) > Long Cylindrical Items 

一本(いっぽん/ippon)> one pencil** 

二本(にっぽん/nippon)>two pencils 

三本(さんぼん/sanbon)>three pencils 

四本(よんほん/yonhon)>four pencils 

五本(ごほん/gohon)> five pencils

匹 (ひき/ hiki) > Animals 

一匹 (いっぴき/ippiki) >one animal 

二匹 (にひき/nihiki) > two animals 

三匹 (さんびき/sanbiki) > three animals 

四匹 (よんひき/yonhiki) > four animals 

五匹 (ごひき/gohiki) > five animals 

 **pencil was used here just as an example of a long cylindrical object. 

~In most situations the Chinese origin numbers are used for the counters listed above, but note the words for 1 person and 2 people employ the native Japanese numbers. 

 Here are the native Japanese Numbers: 

 一つ > ひとつ > hitotsu > one 

二つ > ふたつ > futastu > two

三つ > みっつ > mittsu > three 

四つ > よっつ > yottsu > four 

五つ > いつつ > itsutsu > five 

六つ > むっつ > muttsu > six 

七つ > ななつ > nanatsu > seven 

八つ > やっつ > yattsu > eight 

九つ > ここのつ > kokonotsu > nine 

十 > とお > too > ten 

**Native numbers are used for things like round objects, furniture, mountains, starts, and other very abstract ideas 

1.) 問題が二つあります。>mondai ga futatsu arimasu> there are two problems.  

2.) ソファーを一つ買います。>Sofaa wo hitotsu kaimasu > I will buy one sofa 3.) 紙が二十三枚あります。>kami ga nijuusan-mai arimasu > There are 23 pieces of paper 

4.)犬が一匹います。> inu ga ippiki imasu > There is one dog.

Edit: I removed the link, because my video is down. 

I also want to mention that 一人 means both “one person” and also “alone”. So please don’t let that confuse you! 

[nodoyodobenkyou]

Reblogging this one again to clear up some confusion. The Japanese words for “one person” and “alone” are the same. So, it reads as ‘Hitori” instead of as “ichinin”.
