Tomita: ko re i ku ra
shi ta no? |
Tamaki: ni sen yen de su.

How much is this? |
It is 2000 yen |
 |
 |
Tomita: Jya ko re wa? |
Tamaki: so re wa, ta
da de su. |
How about this one? |
That's free! |
 |
In this conversion, Tomita
asks Tamaki.
How much is this?
Pointing to the book Tamaki has brought.
And, Tamki replied "2000 yen"- in Japanese.
In this case, you may notice that we use 2 as a numerical
character, and kanji symbols for representing 1000.
Secondly, Tomita asks Tamaki again.

Tamaki's book.

Exercise: Let's learn to write in Japanese
How much is this in Japanese
Print out this page, and learn
to write "Want a Coffee" in Japanese by using the
chart below.
We have used the 46
Hiragana Chart to write the above conversation in Japanese
Today's Note: Numbers in Japanese langauge
When we write 2000 yen in Japanese, we used 2
as a number and sen kanji symbol to represent 1000.
Also, yen symbol to represent yen in japanese.
So, if we write 3000, we use the number 3 instead of the number
2.
 |
 |
 |
ni
(2) |
sen
(thousands) |
yen |
However, when we write 1000 in Japanese, we just use sen
and yen kanji symbols.
Sen yen is 1000 yen in Japanese.
