Hey, guys. Thank you for coming again. Today, This is our final lesson in section 1.Just 1 sentence and answer.
How old are you ? You sometimes ask to someone? In Japan, I guess, you haven’t ever listen to ladies if you are male. But today, we learn this and answer the counting in Japanese.
How old ? : ” なんさい ですか “ NANSAI DESU KA ?
I’m 〜 years old: ” 〜さい です “ SAI DESU
Do you still recognize in final letter ” か “ ? This is interrogative sentence right ? Okay, then answers, number in Japanese.
1 : ITI
2 : NI
3 : SAN
4 : YON ( SI )
5 : GO
6 : ROKU
7 : NANA ( HITI )
8 : HATI
9 : KYU-
10: JYU-
Todays, number is only from 1 to 10. I hope that your age is bellow 10. Don’t worry. About over10 counting, we will do soon.
Then, about years old is ” さい “. that’s why, 5 SAI DESU, 10 SAI DESU.
then, some words change the pronunciation by adding ” SAI ” word.
1さい: ITT SAI ２さい:NI SAI ３さい: SAN SAI ４さい: YON SAI ５さい: GO SAI ６さい: ROKU SAI ７さい: NANA SAI ８さい: HATT SAI ９さい: KYU- SAI １０さい: JYUTT SAI.
Yeah, I understand what you want to say. Japanese language always changed the situation. if you want to count the number, you say, ITI NI SAN…. but you should add the some unit right ? in this case, ITT 〜, NI 〜, SAN〜,,, pronunciation will change. The reason is easy to say.
Okay. Do you understand the meaning ? Anyway, you should remind 2 ways in counting from 1 to 10 ( with and without unit) in this time.
Let’s enjoy the lesson. See yah.
