日本語☆ Ⅱ 「Counters」 System B
POSTED ON: 2009年6月4日木曜日 @ 16:16 | 0 comments
Two types of systems when counting things in Japanese, the borrowed Chinese method..ichi..ni..san.. and the way that is native to Japan..hitotsu..futatsu..mittsu..
☆
We will call them System A and System B.
☆
System B is the native Japanese system to count items and is used for items which do not have a special counter or a specific shape to them. You can use them for items that do have a specific counter but it will seem unauthentic.
☆
System B
1- hitotsu (一つ)
2- futatsu (二つ)
3- mittsu (三つ)
4- yottsu (四つ)
5- itsutsu (五つ)
6- muttsu (六つ)
7- nanatsu (七つ)
8- yattsu (八つ)
9- kokonotsu (九つ)
10- too (十)
☆
This list seems a lot less shorter than System A right? The downside is, there is no particular pattern aside from the ending of "su/つ" in 1-9.
☆
PRACTICE
3 cups of coffee (ko-hi/コーヒー)
2 mobile phones (keitai denwa/けいたいでんわ)
1 cake (ke-ki/ケーキ)
10 bags (kaban/かばん)
4 watches (tokei/とけい)

So, you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul,
instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.
You learn that you really can endure,
that you really are strong, and you really do have worth.
You learn and learn, with every goodbye you learn.
Scream your name
Your thoughts, and your cries. Be nice.
Tagboard here, I like shoutmix.com. It can be 100% in width, the height you can put it as whatever. Best if the style is "wide"
