Japanese Counters

Please click on the highlighted kanji to view the full description. Please select some counters by tiching the appropriate checkbox next to it and press the button on the bootom of the page to test your knowledge (you will be asked some random questions for the sake of self-assessment). Please double-click in the empty space to scroll to the top of the page. There are some exceptions in the kanji; the static exceptions apply only to selected numbers; and the rotating exceptions apply to every number ending with the exception digit (e.g., 7, 17, 27, etc for ~7; 10, 20, 30, etc for ~10). For 0, you use ない or いない as there's nothing to count; ゼロ can be used, too. Please refer to the Google for more info on Japanese numbering, counters and other relevant information.
