Help with numbers

derick78b · 21 May 2012

Hello guys,
could you please help me out with numbers?

I've done some exercises about numbers so tell me if anything is wrong.

千四百七 1407
九百九十九 999
三千七百九十二 3792
四十七 47
九十八 98
八千十四 8014
十二 12
八千八百八十八 8888
万二千九百三十三 12933
六百六十六 666
七百八十九 789
九万千百十二 101112
二百二十二 222
四千六百四十六 4646

I use "yon" for 4 and "nana" for 7, is that okay?

Thank you very much!

I think there are some major problems. It seems you don't understand 万 means 10000, and 万 should never stand first or if it is, it means sorely 10000.

Also, can you spell them?

Those two are wrong. 12933 would be: 一万二千九百三十三. ?万 means ?0 000. So there always needs to be a number before it. (Hope that makes sense)
As for the second, I think you just made a typo. 九万千百十二 is 91112 and 101112 is 十万千百十二.

Oh, Thank you very much.

So, I should use a "ichi" before "man", right?

thank you once more.

Yes, if you want to say 10 000, you need to use 'ichi' before 'man'.

In most cases that is correct.

In some compound words and in expressions such as 万が一 you will see it without a preceding "ichi".
