        <div class="chapter_name">Counting Objects</div>
        <div class="blurb">&ldquo;What do you mean, &lsquo;counting objects&rsquo;?&rdquo; you say. &ldquo;Haven&rsquo;t we
        already learned how to count?&rdquo; Yes, we have learned the Japanese number system.
        However, incorporating this into our grammar is another matter. That&rsquo;s what
        we&rsquo;ll learn in this chapter.</div>
        <div><img src="divider@2x.png" class="divider" /></div>

<p class="bodycopy">Before we dive into the Japanese, it will help to consider a
        feature of English called <i>units of
        measurement</i>. These can be understood the best by considering a few
        examples.</p>

        <div class="example">
            <div class="example_bar_and_copy">
                <div class="example_copy">
                    <ul class="example_english_only_list">
                        <li class="example_english_only_item">She bought three <b>loaves</b> of bread.</li>
                        <li class="example_english_only_item">He ate a <b>bowl</b> of ice cream.</li>
                        <li class="example_english_only_item">They had ten <b>rolls</b> of yarn.</li>

                    </ul>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>


<p class="bodycopy">In each of these examples, we specify how much of the noun
        was affected by using a unit of measure. We can&rsquo;t say that she bought &ldquo;three
        breads.&rdquo; It&rsquo;s as if the word &ldquo;bread&rdquo; represents an unlimited supply,
        which we scoop up into units called loaves.</p>

<p class="bodycopy">English has a multitude of such words. We have <i>sheets</i> of paper, <i>ears</i> of corn, <i>loaves</i> of
        bread, <i>issues</i> of magazines. In each
        of these cases, the measure word is mandatory. You can&rsquo;t walk into a store and try to buy &ldquo;three corns, please.&rdquo;</p>

<p class="bodycopy">In case you&rsquo;re interested in the reason for this, English
        has the concept of countable and non-countable nouns. Countable nouns are
        things that can be directly counted, such as cars. &ldquo;I have three cars&rdquo; is
        legitimate grammar. Non-countable nouns (also called &ldquo;mass nouns&rdquo;) are things that
        require units of measure, and they tend to be things that don&rsquo;t come in discrete
        units, like water, dirt, yarn, and so on. In English, a non-countable noun
        conjures up an image of a vast, unlimited supply: &ldquo;Water&rdquo; means all the water
        in the universe, an endless sea stretching out to infinity. So it must be
        scooped up into a usuable unit (a cup, a glass, a bucket) in order to do
        something with it.</p>

<p class="bodycopy">Japanese has something very similar to units of measure,
        called measure words or counters. As we saw above, in English, some kinds of things can be counted
        with plain old numbers (one car, two dogs) while others require units (a loaf of bread, a cup of water).
        But in Japanese, measure words must be used for everything. Any time you count any kind of thing, 
        you must select the appropriate kind of measure word. So instead of &ldquo;three cats,&rdquo; as weird as it may seem, 
        you say something like &ldquo;three animal-units of cat.&rdquo; 
        Fortunately, there are also several counters which work very broadly, so by learning around
        ten of these measure words, you&rsquo;ll be able to quantify most things.</p>

<p class="bodycopy">Ready to enter this strange and wonderful world? 
        Great! Let&rsquo;s start by looking at a special numbering system, which only
        contains the numbers one through ten, that works sort of like a miscellaneous
        counter. These words can be used to count most things.</p>

<p class="bodycopy">These numbers are often called &ldquo;the <i>tsu</i> numbers,&rdquo; for obvious
        reasons. Using these numbers, we can say things like &ldquo;There are six apples,&rdquo;
        or, &ldquo;I saw ten stones.&rdquo;</p>

<p class="bodycopy">The placement is very simple. Always put the number phrase
        directly before the verb with nothing in between. This is a strong rule in
        Japanese. This placement is non-negotiable.</p>

        means &ldquo;There are apples,&rdquo; then we simply insert the number element, say, <i>muttsu</i>, directly before <i>arimasu</i> to create the more specific
        sentence, &ldquo;There are six apples,&rdquo; <i>Ringo
        ga muttsu arimasu</i>. See if you can make sense out of these examples:</p>

<p class="bodycopy">In each of these sentences, you can take the number element
        out and end up with a simple sentence that we already know how to manage. For
        example, taking the number element out of the first sentence leaves us with the
        simple <i>Ishi ga arimashita</i>, &ldquo;There was
        a rock / There were rocks.&rdquo; Adding the number element merely specifies that
        there were <i>eight</i> such rocks.</p>

<p class="bodycopy">What about asking &ldquo;how many&rdquo; of something there are? To do
        this, we need the interrogative <i>ikutsu</i>.
        Notice that <i>ikutsu</i> is also a <i>tsu</i> number, so to speak. It belongs to
        the same set.</p>

<p class="bodycopy">Like other interrogatives, such as <i>dare</i>, <i>doko</i>, and <i>nani</i>, this interrogative goes exactly
        where you want the answer to be in the response. Since the answer is going to
        be a number, that number is going to appear directly before the verb. Therefore,
        <i>ikutsu</i> needs to appear in the same
        place.</p>

        are really handy, but they have a major limitation: they only work when you
        have less than ten objects. For anything in greater quantity, you must use a

        it. And you must always use a specific counter for humans.</p>

<p class="bodycopy">Right away you should notice that <i>hitori</i> and <i>futari</i> look
        very similar to the <i>tsu</i> numbers for
        one and two. That makes them easy to remember. After <i>futari</i>, however, 
        all you have to do is tag the suffix <i>-nin</i> onto the appropriate number.</p>

<p class="bodycopy">There is a special case for attaching <i>yon</i> to <i>nin</i>. Just like
        with <i>yon</i> and <i>nen</i>, which becomes <i>yonen</i>,
        four people are <i>yonin</i>. Also, for nine
        people, use the form <i>kyuu</i> (not <i>ku</i>).</p>

<p class="bodycopy">The placement in sentences works exactly as with the <i>tsu</i> numbers. Number elements always come
        directly before the verb.</p>

<p class="bodycopy">So the &ldquo;person counter&rdquo; is easy to use. The only oddballs
        within this counter are the words for &ldquo;one person&rdquo; and &ldquo;two people.&rdquo; All the
        others are simple. Let&rsquo;s learn another counter&mdash;this time for thin sheets.</p>

<p class="bodycopy">This counter is also extremely useful. <i>-Ko</i> can be used for a wide range of objects. The only requirement
        is that they be generally roundish or boxy, and about the size of a chair or
        smaller. Mugs, marbles, strawberries, and computer mice can all be counted with
        <i>-ko</i>. <i>-Ko</i> has a bit of a cutesy feel to it. Little things like buttons
        and thumbtacks are often counted with <i>-ko</i>.
        And one of the best things about it is that even if used incorrectly, it still
        sounds okay most of the time. So remember this one.</p>

<p class="bodycopy">When combining with the numbers that end in one, six, eight,
        or ten, the form changes slightly, as indicated in the vocabulary chart.</p>

<p class="bodycopy">As a general rule, when <i>ku</i> comes before another k-sound (as in <i>roku-ko</i>), the <i>ku</i> turns into a
        small <i>tsu</i> to aid in ease of
        pronunciation. The same thing often happens when the character <i>chi</i> comes before a k-sound 
        (as in <i>hachi-ko</i>).</p>

<p class="bodycopy">The next counter up is <i>-hon</i>.
        This counter is used to count slender, usually cylindrical objects like
        pencils, trees, and so on. Interestingly, it can also be used to count roads
        and rivers.</p>

<p class="bodycopy">Just like <i>-ko</i>, we
        must use special forms of this counter with certain numbers. Numbers ending in
        one, three, six, eight, or ten get slightly modified forms, as shown above.</p>

<p class="bodycopy">Again, these changes occur for euphony-related reasons. To
        the Japanese ear, <i>ichi-hon</i> doesn&rsquo;t
        sound right, so the <i>chi</i> is changed to
        a small <i>tsu</i>. But how can you have a
        doubled h sound? You need something hard for the <i>tsu</i> to clamp down on, so the <i>hon</i>
        gets <i>maru</i> and turns into <i>pon</i>.</p>

<p class="bodycopy"><i>-Hiki</i> is used to count most animals, with a few minor exceptions.
        Birds get their own special counter (<i>-wa</i>), as do larger animals, like horses and elephants (<i>-tou</i>).  
        But <i>-hiki</i> is good for anything from mice to fish to cats and dogs.
</p>
<p class="bodycopy">
        And as you might imagine from the fact that the
        first character is an h-sound, the form changes slightly for the numbers one,
        three, six, eight, and ten. In fact, it changes in exactly the same way as <i>-hon</i>, so if you know one, you know the

    Finally, let's try inquiring about the number of animals, using the interrogative <i>nan</i> plus <i>hiki</i>. 
    Because of euphony, this combination changes to <i>nan-biki</i>. Try this example sentence on for size:

<p class="bodycopy">As a side note, I noted above that <i>-hiki</i> can be used for all small animals except birds. 
        Technically, birds
        should be counted using <i>-wa</i>, but you can think of <i>-hiki</i> as the default animal counter, 
        the one that pops to mind first, so it&rsquo;s certainly not uncommon to hear people counting birds with it too.</p>

<p class="bodycopy">As you can see, counting objects in Japanese is actually
        very straightforward. Although you must remember a few counters and how they
        combine with various numbers, the actual placement and usage of the counters is
        quite simple.</p>

<p class="bodycopy">What about counting time? How do we tell the time of day in
        Japanese? It&rsquo;s actually quite similar to counting anything else. First
        let&rsquo;s learn about how to say what hour it is.</p>

<p class="bodycopy">All you have to do is add <i>-ji</i> to the end of a number and you have that hour. 
        For example, <i>ichi-ji</i> is one o&rsquo;clock. <i>Juuni-ji</i> is twelve o&rsquo;clock. There are
        only a few special rules to keep in mind.</p>

<ul class="bodycopy">
            <li>Four o&rsquo;clock is <i>yo-ji</i>, not <i>yon-ji</i> or <i>shi-ji</i>. </li>
            <li>Seven o&rsquo;clock is <i>shichi-ji</i>, not <i>nana-ji</i>.</li>
            <li>Nine o&rsquo;clock is <i>ku-ji</i>, not <i>kyuu-ji</i>. </li>
</ul>

<p class="bodycopy">The next two words on the above vocab list are <i>kara</i> and <i>made</i>. 
		Using these words, you can specify a window of time during
        which something happens. Like virtually everything in Japanese, these words tag
        onto the end of the time element they relate to.</p>

<p class="bodycopy">For example, <i>5:00 kara</i> means &ldquo;from 5:00,&rdquo; and <i>7:30 made</i> means &ldquo;until 7:30.&rdquo; These
        words often appear as a unit: &ldquo;sometime <i>kara</i>
        sometime <i>made</i>.&rdquo; For example, <i>8:00 kara 5:00 made</i> means &ldquo;from 8:00
        until 5:00.&rdquo; You can use gozen and gogo with these words by placing them where
        they normally go, before the time of day.</p>

<p class="bodycopy">You&rsquo;ll notice that several of these bear strong resemblance
        to the <i>-tsu</i> numbers we learned
        earlier. That should make them easy to remember. Be sure to emphasize the
        doubled consonant on the fourth and the doubled vowel on the eighth.</p>

<p class="bodycopy">All the other days of the month, with three exceptions, are
        created by simply attaching a number to the word <i>-nichi</i>, which is a root meaning &ldquo;day.&rdquo; For example, <i>juugo-nichi</i> is the fifteenth day of the
        month. <i>Nijuuroku-nichi</i> is the
        twenty-sixth day of the month.</p>

<p class="bodycopy">The three exceptions to this are the 14th, the 20th, and the
        24th. In the case of the 14th and the 24th, someone somewhere back in the winds
        of time decided that we should use the <i>yokka</i>
        from the word for &ldquo;the 4th,&rdquo; and add the correct tens amount in front
        of it. So the 14th is <i>juu-yokka</i> and
        the 24th is <i>nijuu-yokka</i>.</p>

<p class="bodycopy">In the case of the 20th, there is a special word that you
        simply must commit to memory. That word is <i>hatsuka</i>.
        All by itself, it means &ldquo;the 20th day of the month.&rdquo; Twenty is a
        special word in Japanese. There is a special word for the age of twenty as
        well, which we&rsquo;ll be seeing shortly.</p>

<p class="bodycopy">Now that we know the days of the month, we can create
        phrases like &ldquo;the 21st of February&rdquo; or &ldquo;the 5th of August.&rdquo;
        Simply name the month followed directly by the day.</p>

        nine-hundred ninety-nine,&rdquo; and tag a <i>-nen</i>

<p class="bodycopy">So now we&rsquo;re experts on establishing ourselves
        chronologically. What about counting age? How does that work? It&rsquo;s quite
        simple. Just attach the suffix <i>-sai</i>
        to any number and you have your age. Thus <i>ni-sai</i>
        is &ldquo;two years old&rdquo; and <i>hyaku-sai</i>
        is &ldquo;one hundred years old.&rdquo;</p>

<p class="bodycopy"><i>Nansai?</i> is
        &ldquo;how many years old?&rdquo; and <i>Oikutsu</i>
        is a polite equivalent to <i>nansai</i>. If
        you look closely, you&rsquo;ll see that it is simply the counter <i>ikutsu</i> with the honorific <i>O</i>
        on the front.</p>

<p class="bodycopy">As you see in the chart, there are special forms for ages
        ending in one, eight, or ten. And finally, the age of twenty gets a special
        designation, since this is the traditional age of adulthood in Japan. The
        special word is <i>hatachi</i>. This word
        all by itself means &ldquo;twenty years of age.&rdquo;
        Let&rsquo;s try a few examples.</p>

<p class="bodycopy">Finally, let&rsquo;s look at how to count money. In many countries,
        there is more than one unit for currency. For example, in the United States, we have dollars and
        cents. Giving a price is almost like telling time. We have to give both units: &ldquo;It&rsquo;s
        four dollars and 39 cents.&rdquo;</p>

<p class="bodycopy">However, Japan
        only has yen. That&rsquo;s it. In Japanese, the word &ldquo;yen&rdquo; is expressed <i>en</i>. Just tag this onto a number, and you
        have a currency amount!</p>

<p class="bodycopy"><i>Kore wo mite</i>: The <i>-te</i>
        form plus <i>kudasai</i> means &ldquo;Please do
        such-and-such,&rdquo; but among friends, the <i>kudasai</i>
        is often left off or changed to <i>ne</i>. This
        makes it more of an informal, friendly request.</p>

<p class="bodycopy"><i>Ee to</i>: This is a
        standard stalling phrase, similar to the English &ldquo;um...&rdquo; or &ldquo;er....&rdquo;</p>

<p class="bodycopy"><i>Nan</i><i> ni shimasu ka?</i>: Literally, this means,
        &ldquo;What will you do (go) to?&rdquo; This construction is used often to describe a
        decision. It&rsquo;s similar to the English expression &ldquo;to go with.&rdquo; For example, a
        customer at a restaurant might tell the waiter, <i>Watashi wa tenpura ni shimasu</i>, &ldquo;I&rsquo;ll go with the tenpura.&rdquo; By
        asking <i>Nan</i><i> ni shimasu ka?</i> John is inquiring what
        Mariko is going to decide on.</p>

<p class="bodycopy"><i><u>Chichi ni</u> sanbon
        kaimashou</i>: To buy something &ldquo;for someone&rdquo; in Japanese, you buy it &ldquo;to
        them.&rdquo;</p>

<p class="bodycopy"><i>Sanbon kaimashou</i>:
        This sounds like &ldquo;<b>Let&rsquo;s</b> buy three
        bottles,&rdquo; but it can also mean, &ldquo;I think <b>I&rsquo;ll</b>
        buy three bottles.&rdquo; It&rsquo;s almost as if there&rsquo;s a little committee inside Mariko
        and they&rsquo;re announcing their decision. Japanese speakers often use this method
        to indicate a decision they are making on the spot.</p>

<p class="bodycopy"><i>Kaimashou ka ne</i>:
        Similar to the above, except the committee in John&rsquo;s head is not announcing
        their decision, it&rsquo;s announcing that it is considering the decision. The <i>ne</i> on the end makes it clear that John
        is half talking to himself.</p>

<p class="bodycopy"><i>Kono mise wa 5:00 made
        desu</i>: Literally, &ldquo;This store is until 5:00.&rdquo; The standard way of describing
        store hours is to simply name times with <i>kara</i>
        and <i>made</i>.</p>

        <div class="subheading_level_1">Summary</div>


<p class="bodycopy">In this lesson, we learned the <i>-tsu</i> numbers and the counters <i>-nin</i>,
        <i>-mai</i>, <i>-ko</i>, <i>-hon</i>, and <i>-hiki</i>. Several of these counters change
        when attached to certain numbers because of an effect called euphony, which means 
        taking off the rough edges to make words sound better or make them easier to say.</p>

<p class="bodycopy">In
        particular, the counters that start with k- and h- sounds tend to cause euphony
        with numbers that end in 1, 3, 6, 8, and 10. So, for example, <i>ichi</i> plus <i>ko</i>
        becomes <i>ikko</i>. Similarly, <i>ichi</i> plus <i>hiki</i> becomes <i>ippiki</i>.
        Fortunately, this euphony happens fairly
        consistently according to a few basic patterns.</p>

<p class="bodycopy">In constructing sentences, counters are placed
        directly before the verb. So if <i>Neko ga imashita</i> means &ldquo;There were cats,&rdquo; then
        <i>Neko ga happiki imashita</i> means &ldquo;There were eight cats.&rdquo;</p>

<p class="bodycopy">Because interrogatives go where you want the answer
        to appear in the response, interrogatives that ask for the number of something
        are also placed directly before the verb. So, for instance, &ldquo;How many cats were there?&rdquo; would be
<i>Neko ga nanbiki imashita ka?</i></p>

<p class="bodycopy">We also learned how to tell the time of day, the day of the month,
        and the year. In Japanese, dates are always given in the order year, month,
        then day. In characteristically backwards manner (compared to English anyway), we saw that the
        Japanese words for &ldquo;a.m.&rdquo; and &ldquo;p.m.&rdquo; go <i>before</i>
        the time in question, so that &ldquo;8:00 p.m.&rdquo; is <i>gogo hachi-ji</i>. We also learned the words <i>kara</i>
        and <i>made</i> to specify a
        window of time.</p>

<p class="bodycopy">Finally, we learned how to count ages and money. We noted that the currency is
        called <i>en</i> in Japanese, not &ldquo;yen,&rdquo; and it is not subdivided further like dollars or euros are into cents.</p>

<p class="bodycopy">What a lesson! If your head is spinning, relax. It will certainly take a little practice to master 
these concepts, but you&rsquo;ll get them. Why not start by working through my quizzes below?</p>
