* Counting Numbers with NO Counter *

 

Japanese numbers are used for counting stuff. Those without counter of their own like tables, chairs, boxes, fruit, vegetables, etc except age are to use the common counter - tsu (つ). Refer to below table and take note of 10:

 

 1  ひとつ / 一つ hitotsu 
 2 ふたつ / 二つ futatsu
 
 3 みっつ / 三つ mittsu 
 4 よっつ / 四つ yottsu 
 5 いつつ / 五つ itsutsu 
 6 むっつ / 六つ muttsu 
 7 ななつ / 七つ nanatsu 
 8 やっつ / 八つ yattsu 
 9 ここのつ / 九つ kokonotsu 
 10 とう / 十 tou 
 11 じゅういち / 十一 jyuuichi 
 12 じゅうに / 十二 jyuuni
