I’m really hoping that these 日本語 Japanese posts are helping people. The reason I keep doing them is two-fold: 1) I get to share something that I know & I think others would like to know as well.  2) It’ s a killer review for me as well. I keep doing posts & setting them to auto post day after day. I have a few finished everyday & I keep adding more. Just gotta pace myself.

So today we had our midterm. It was tricky, but I think I did well. We has to write some single words in Hiragana, which made me think. It’s kinda hard. >.<  Further on in the test, there were questions that had to be answered in Hiragana. Oy!

So overall, tricky, but not too bad.

So far we’ve covered from 1-20 and 20-100.

Now we’re going to do 100-1000.

It may seem like a big jump, but it’s not nearly as taxing as it seems.

In English, we have names for the units. By units I mean ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, etc.

In Japanese, they have all those but, there’s also a unit for 10-thousands.
It’ll make more sense when you see it, but that’ll be in a later post.

Below are the “hundreds” units, including 1,000 .

** These are irregular and don’t follow the  “___hyaku” pattern.
~~ Also not that these use yon & nana as the prefixes.
shihyaku & shichihyaku would be incorrect.
