Exercise 1

Unlike English, Japanese does not have special words for generic numbers above ten, aside from the words for βhundred,β βthousand,β βten thousandβ and so on. For example, the word for βtwenty,β is simply and literally just βtwo tens.β
When writing Japanese numerals, we can take it one number at a time. Let’s break the number down into each of its components:
500 = γγ²γγ
40 = γγγγ γ
1 = γγ‘
500 is βfive one hundreds,β so it gives us βγγ²γγ,β 40 is βfour tens,β so it gives us γγγγ γ,β and 1 is simply βγγ‘.β
Put together in the same order, we arrive at γγ²γγγγγγ γγγ‘.

Sometimes, depending on the number that comes before it, certain words will change pronunciation in Japanese. On Page 380 of your Genki I textbook, there is a helpful chart of these changes.
When writing Japanese numerals, we can take it one number at a time. Let’s break down the number into each of its components:
8000 = γ―γ£γγ (βγ―γ£β is the altered form of βγ―γ‘β that comes before βγ΄γγβ and βγγβ)
900 = γγ γγ²γγ
8000 is βeight one thousands,β so it gives us βγ―γ£γγ,β and 900 is βnine one hundreds,β so it gives us βγγ γγ²γγ.β
Put together in the same order, we arrive at γ―γ£γγγγ γγ²γγ.

Exercise 4

Unlike English, Japanese does not have special words for generic numbers above ten, aside from the words for βhundred,β βthousand,β βten thousandβ and so on. For example, the word for βtwenty,β is simply and literally just βtwo tens.β
Japanese has a unique word for βten thousand,β which is βγΎγ.β Thus, to say βone hundred thousand,β we say βten ten thousands,β or βγγ γγΎγ.β Unlike βγγ γ,β βγ²γγ,β or βγγ,β we add βγγ‘β before βγΎγβ when we want to specify that we are talking about βone ten thousand.β
When writing Japanese numerals, we can take it one number at a time. Let’s break down the number into each of its components:
10,000 = γγ‘γΎγ
2000 = γ«γγ
300 = γγγ³γγ (βγ³γγβ is the altered form of βγ²γγβ that comes after βγγβ)
40 = γγγγ γ
5 = γ
10,000 is βone ten thousand,β so it gives us βγγ‘γΎγ,β 2000 is βtwo one thousands,β so it gives us βγ«γγ,β 300 is βthree one hundreds,β so it gives us βγγγ³γγ,β 40 is βfour tens,β so it gives us βγγγγ γ,β and 5 is simply βfive,β so it gives us βγ.β
