In order to form the number 20 in Japanese, you add the number for 2 in Japanese with the number for ten.\u00a0 In the previous post I talked about how you need to add in order to form the numbers 11- 19.\u00a0 Well for the numbers 20 – 90 you need to multiply.\u00a0 If you multiply 2 times 10 you get 20 right?\u00a0 So that’s the strategy that will hold true starting from the numbers 20 to 90.\u00a0 Here are the numbers from 20 to 90:<\/p>\n
20 – nijuu (\u306b\u3058\u3085\u3046<\/strong>)<\/p>\n 30 – sanjuu (\u3055\u3093\u3058\u3085\u3046<\/strong>)<\/p>\n 40 – yonjuu (\u3088\u3093\u3058\u3085\u3046<\/strong>)<\/p>\n 50 – gojuu (\u3054\u3058\u3085\u3046<\/strong>)<\/p>\n 60 – rokujuu (\u308d\u304f\u3058\u3085\u3046<\/strong>)<\/p>\n 70 – nanajuu (\u306a\u306a\u3058\u3085\u3046<\/strong>)<\/p>\n 80 – hachijuu (\u306f\u3061\u3058\u3085\u3046<\/strong>)<\/p>\n 90 – kyuujuu (\u304d\u3085\u3046\u3058\u3085\u3046<\/strong>)<\/p>\n One thing I want you to pay attention to is that there is only one standard option to pronounce the numbers 20 -90.\u00a0 For the numbers 0-19, some numbers had two, even three options for pronunciation.\u00a0 There is only one way to pronounce the number 40.\u00a0 It’s yonjuu (\u3088\u3093\u3058\u3085\u3046<\/strong>) not yojuu (\u3088\u3058\u3085\u3046<\/strong>) or shijuu (\u3057\u3058\u3085\u3046<\/strong>).\u00a0 The same goes for 70 and 90.<\/p>\n Alright, that’s it for today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In order to form the number 20 in Japanese, you add the number for 2 in Japanese with the number for ten.\u00a0 In the previous post I talked about how you need to add in order to form the numbers 11- 19.\u00a0 Well for the numbers 20 – 90 you need to multiply.\u00a0 If you…<\/p>\n
