Counting to 100

In 三 steps!

You only need to know 11 numbers to count to 100!

Hiragana Chart

11-19

Combine 10 (jyuu) with the appropriate single digit number, as demonstrated below!’.

11

jyuu ichi

'The 10's'

Twenty is‘two tens’, so it’s ‘二十にじゅう
ni jyuu’.

Ten alone is still just ‘jyuu’, not ‘ichi Jyuu’.

20

nijyuu

Combined

Finally, let’s combine what we’ve learnt in the first 2 steps! Like in English, we say the bigger number first, for example ‘Fourty-four’. We then add the single digit onto the end, for example ‘Sixty-three’.
