    My problem has always been my speed. The more I practice, the faster I get but it feels like there must be some other ways to increase my recall speed.

    Fun fact: English used to have a word for 10,000 and you probably all know it. It's "myriad". It fell out of use and became a synonym of "plethora".
    Great vid as always! I'm still new to Japanese but numbers don't seem too hard compared to some other languages. :)

      @@stuart5236 Yep, and you can find that very word in all the Latin languages, as well as some of the Germanic languages. In all of them the meaning changed from 10,000 to "a lot". Most likely people back in the day didn't really count past 10,000 very often, so it made sense to have a word for it as well as using it to describe a large number of something (just like we'd say "I have a million things to do"). With bigger numbers becoming more common, the initial meaning became kind of useless and only its metaphorical one remained. Only a few Asian languages kept using 10,000 as a unit, as far as I'm aware.

      @misterwhyte I'd imagine another reason it fell out of fashion is because it feels sort of anomalous in English counting, since unlike Asian languages, since any number past 100 we group by 3 before making a new name

I cannot express a better "thank you" to her, other then "Arigatou gozaimasu! Gozaimasu Sayaka Sensei!!!" She has done so much to help me learn, in fact, about 89% of my knowledge of Japanese comes from her, おめでとうございまさ!

  • @cloudkitt
    @cloudkitt 11 місяців тому +5

    I remember when first learning Japanese finding it pretty fascinating that there would be a distinct word for "tenthousand" and that you would count from there (Making a million "100 tenthousands"), just because it highlighted something you would never think of. Where you make those divisions is completely arbitrary. Fun perspective changing moment.
    Still very tricky to change your way of approaching numbers though, and it's easy to zone out when someone is saying a long number.
    And congratulations on the subscribers!

You have to learn unnecessary words like "eleven", "twelve", ... or "twenty", "thirty", ... etc. which you don't need in Japanese because you just say "ten-one", "ten-two", ... and "two-ten", "three-ten" etc. So, overall Japanese is not significantly more complicated compared to English!

    There’s actually a theory that the reason a lot of Asians perform better on math than Europeans is because of the number system being more mathematic and easier to understand. 11 being eleven doesn’t really tell you anything, but if you say 10 + 1, it makes sense. 20 being twenty doesn’t really tell you anything, but if you say 2 x 10, it makes sense.

      The essence of Asian countries' tradition is problem-solving, mathematical creativity, and communication. Nurturing mathematical talent is a part of their tradition. Studying mathematics is very respectful, and many opportunities are given to mathematicians.
      It actually was said about my country people, but our ancestors are originally from Asia.

    ありがとうございます。N3を合格したんですけど数えるのが下手です。今日Sayaka先生の動画のおかげで数えるのが簡単だと思い始めました。🍀
