How to Say Japanese Numbers

First of all, lets us start our japanese learning from learn japanese numbers




1 = ichi
2 = ni   
3 = san   
4 = shi
5 = go
6 = roku
7 = shichi / nana
8 = hachi
9 = kyuu
10 = juu

for numbers from 11-19 you can say like this.
11 is 10+1 so you say juuichi
12 = juuni
13 = juusan
.
.
.
19 = juukyuu

for numbers from 20-21
20 is 2 + 10 = nijuu
21 is 2 + 1 = nijuuichi
21 = nijuuni
.
.
.
29 = nijuukyuu

30 = sannjuu
.
.
.

and 100 = hyaku !!

for numbers like 1000 and 100000
1000 = sen
so if 2000 become ni-sen
10000 = man
so if 20000 become ni-man
100000 = juu-man
1000000 = hyaku man





To the step 2
