Japanese numbers and how to count numbers are overly complicated, but very important. If you can't tell the number, you can't tell what the day and time, the number you want, or even your age. It is recommended to remember this number aloud. Also, the Number words will change depending on the person, the type and shape of the object, and the type of animal, so I will explain this in detail next time.

First, try to remember the basic numbers on this page.
