Holy crap! I was answering aloud and when it came to 6:08, I said it correctly and you said "Good job, Jesse", right as I said it. That's my actual name and I freaked out for a second. xD
@@nazimsakhri1558 well, I live in Japan now, so I don’t really watch George’s videos anymore. But the videos helped out a lot for picking up the language by listening to the native speakers here. Haha.
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)
Your videos are amazing, they are really easy to follow. I am doing a master's in neuroscience but I still find time to study Nihongo. The crazy thing is I end up remembering all of what you said but not all of what other teachers say. Your a great teacher and I will continue watching your videos.
what is this 0:40 am? If you are trying to use military time it is 0040. I am genuinely curious tho, is this how its said in japanese? u are trying to say 12:40 am tho right?
@@danielsiress1753 Sorry for replying, but I found it interesting. In my country, we usually write 00:something instead of 12:00 am (though when we speak, we just say 12). By the way, I'm from Argentina, and I've never paid attention to this before.
@@nicolasfiancoski6792 Ive looked into it before and I think the majority of the world uses 24 hour time which is formatted 00:00 at midnight and 12:00 at noon. Military is 0000 at midnight and 1200 at noon, while 12 hr is 12 am at midnight and 12 pm at noon. Why do we americans gotta be difficult and different then everybody else tho... also, I think 0:40 am is kinda redundant cause 0:40 already means am so putting am their is pointless
Hi there! Trans woman, the correct term is trans woman for anyone wondering. She-man, uh, I've never heard any one use it, but it feels fairly rude to me. Maybe it's just a bad knock off of He-man? Whatever. Great lessons so far, though :)
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.
10:03 I competed in the 1988 competition in Cincinnati, came in second place for Tetris, it was fun being up on stage competing against two others. This is the first I ever heard of these cartridges. Sugoi!
Almost spat my cereal when you said sheman. You are a great teacher with good fun charisma this is why I am loving this series. I'm gonna watch them and then I will get the books but I am thinking on starting on Book 2 cuz Book 1 seems a little slow, I already know all hiragana and katakana and some grammar.
Ok. I gotta hand it to you. I am an intermediate to advanced level, and I thought your videos were "below" me. Heck, I watched our explanation on もうin another video, and I loved your explanation so much, I actually learned something that had been bugging me for years about もう. I didn't know all three possible meanings of もう. I only knew two. I am loving your thorough explanation on the numbers. I finally got it and remember some of the quirky differences in pronunciation of the numbers, so I started watching with vide one, and I am filling all the little "holes" that I have in my Japanese. Great job! Thanks! Subscribed!
@@jwatson908 he has a video about keyboards If you mean mobile phones go to keyboard settings go to language,add the language and there's a setting or gesture settings so you can switch faster in your keyboard. Hold your Japanese keyboard and swipe hiragana to change it and press the arrow pointing right to type another hiragana If you want to have katakana you need to press The katakana in the upper part of your keyboard. The part where your keyboard shows you suggestions like in English
@@jwatson908ex: if you type "A" the keyboard will guess what will you type next like apple, able,abs,etc" In Japanese keyboard it's like that,you can find the katakana there
Wow, I've been really struggling with numbers beyond 万 but it finally makes sense now! No wonder I kept getting it wrong lmao. Gonna have to rethink the way I view numbers!
My name is Jessica and I go by "Jesse" to some and so when he said that after I said "15,000" I literally almost spilled my drink that I was putting down, hahhaha. I was so surprised.
Somehow this man manages to teach me numbers 1-99,999 in Japanese in under an hour, make it entertaining, and be funny. Trombley your a jack of all trades
Indeed. After glancing at them I was a bit daunted. So many really specific ones! I mean, one specially for objects that are small and round... mauve... and smell of pineapple during twilight hours on alternating weekends?!
You, sir, are a genius ... having spent some years working in China, I have seen a lot of struggling in converting "millions" to 万 and 億 (亿) or back - by speakers otherwise very fluent in both languages. Love your "buying zeros" technique :-)
and i learnt counting from 1 - 9999 within 30 minutes. a good teacher makes all the difference isn't it ? (and i had no problems in picking up this system. I didn't really think about the English counting system or the counting in my native numbering system , ig its bc of that I had no probs)
I just watched a japanese drama.. Someone there buys four bento and the seller says "senroppyakuman yen"... The translation of the sub was "That will be 16 million yen".. I thought "Hey, thats a bit much for four bento?!". But that's what he said. Then i came across 満 (man) on jisho.org which means "full/whole/all"... I translated it as "That would be 1600 yen for all." with that.. Could my translation be right or did the price for bento in japan go through the roof?
I'm trying to learn so that I can move to Japan for my job, and these videos are so far very helpful. It's a tad bit hard to watch with misophonia, though, because of the way he smacks his lips two or three times after every sip of soda...
40,000, there's no need to feel down I said, 40,000, pick yourself off the ground I said, 40,000, 'cause you're in a new town There's no need to be unhappy
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!
I'm not sure if it's just me, but I never found the ten thousand counter to be difficult. It's just something that might take getting used to, I think.
Yeah I am just making sure I don't say it's "easy" and leave some people out. It certainly can be tricky. Are you sure you know how to do まん because it still hurts my brain after 28 years some times.
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.
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.
hey man i am getting japnese pronounciation but did not getting the writting portion i am just a learner.what should i do should i quit learning or at first i need to learn how to write???
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...).
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!
Well actually there is the MAN (10,000 counter) and even up to 9,999,999 the 10,000 counter is still being used 100,000 is just 10 units of MAN or 10 MAN. Even at 1 million it is just 100 units of MAN. After 9999 units of MAN the counter changes to the 100 million marker or OKU. And the counting again goes fro 1-9999 OKU then it changes to the CHOU counter (1 trillion) which can also go up to 9999 units.
Is this part in the book because I can’t find it for some reason! The book I’ve been using to follow is the first (number 1) Japanese from zero book! anyone else?
BrookesterTV Yeah, I think he added this in videos because of the curiosity of students. I like learning more. I’ve bought the first 3 books digitally a few days ago.

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.
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
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.

Thai also has a 10,000 counter, and a 100,000 counter and a million counter.
Well actually there is the MAN (10,000 counter) and even up to 9,999,999 the 10,000 counter is still being used 100,000 is just 10 units of MAN or 10 MAN. Even at 1 million it is just 100 units of MAN. After 9999 units of MAN the counter changes to the 100 million marker or OKU. And the counting again goes fro 1-9999 OKU then it changes to the CHOU counter (1 trillion) which can also go up to 9999 units.
