1. Lesson 2
Japanese Numbers
0-9

2. Japanese Numbers/ 0 - 9
In Lesson 2 we learned numbers from zero to nine in Japanese.
= one as the smallest unit
0 *ゼロ／*zero・れい／rei
1 いち／ichi
2 に／ni
3 さん／san
4 *よん／*yon・し／shi・(**よ／**yo)
5 ご／go
6 ろく／roku
7 *なな／*nana・しち／shichi
8 はち／hachi
9 *きゅう／*kyuu・く／ku
0 as ゼロ／zero in Japanese originates from the English numeric number
zero . Therefore it s written in katakana as a loanword.
*The red numbers in the chart are used for phone numbers.
**The blue number in the chart is used for telling the time 4 o clock.

3. Giving a telephone number
123 の 456 の 7890 です。
no no desu
The particle の is usually placed in between the area code, the local exchange
no
code and the last four digits. Therefore, the phone number 123-456-7890 can be
pronounced in Japanese as;
いち に さん の よん ご ろく の なな はち きゅう ゼロ
ichi n i sa n n o yo n g o r o ku no nana h ach i k yuu z e ro
Meanwhile, telephone number in Japanese is でんわばんごう . So when you d like
denwa bangou
to state the phone number as a sentence in Japanese as;
でんわばんごう は 1 2 3 の 4 5 6 の 7 8 9 0 です。
denwa bangou wa ichi ni san no yon go roku no nana hachi kyuu zero desu
(The phone number is 123-456-7890.)

4. Giving one s telephone number
If you d like to give your phone number, you can simply specify the ownership of the
phone number as my phone number as わたしの + でんわばんごう .
watashi no denwa bangou
わたし の でんわばんごう ＝ my phone number ＝ phone number of mine
watashi no denwa bangou
わたしの でんわばんごうは 1 2 3 の 4 5 6 の 7 8 9 0 です。
watashi no denwa bangou wa ichi ni san no yon go roku no nana hachi kyuu zero desu
My phone number is 123 - 456 - 7890.
(The phone number of mine is 123 - 456 - 7890.)

5. If you d like to give someone else s phone number, you can simply switch the
ownership of the phone number. Say if you d like to give Mr. Takahashi s phone
number, replace my to Mr. Takahashi s as;
たかはしさん の でんわばんごう ＝ Mr. Takahashi s phone number
＝ phone number of Mr. Takahashi
たかはしさんの でんわばんごうは 1 2 3 の 4 5 6 の 7 8 9 0 です。
takahashi san no denwa bangou wa ichi ni san no yon go roku no nana hachi kyuu zero desu
Mr. Takahashi s phone number is 123 - 456 - 7890.
(The phone number of Mr. Takahashi is 123 - 456 - 7890.)

6. Asking one s telephone number
If you d like to ask that the phone number is correct or not, you can simply convert
a sentence to a question form by adding か at the end of the sentence.
ka
でんわばんごうは 1 2 3 の 4 5 6 の 7 8 9 0 ですか。
denwa bangou wa ichi ni san no yon go roku no nana hachi kyuu zero desu ka
(Is the phone number 123-456-7890?)
If the number is correct the answer would be はい , if it s not correct the answer
hai
would be いいえ then you can state the correct number as;
iie
いいえ、 1 2 3 の 4 5 6 の 0 9 8 7 です。
iie, ichi ni san no yon go roku no zero kyuu hachi nana desu
(No, it s 123-456-0987.)

7. Meanwhile, if you d like to find out a phone number you ask with what number as
なんばん . You can simply replace the number part in the question sentence to
nanban
this なんばん : as;
nanban
でんわばんごうは なんばん ですか。
denwa bangou wa nanban desu ka
What (number) is the phone number?
You can ask a person s phone number by adding its ownership as;
たかはしさんの でんわばんごうは なんばん ですか。
takahashi san no denwa bangou wa nanban desu ka
What (number) is Mr. Takahashi s phone number?
Then the answer would be;
（でんわばんごうは） 1 2 3 の 4 5 6 の 7 8 9 0 です。
denwa bangou wa ichi ni san no yon go roku no nana hachi kyuu zero desu
(The phone number is 123-456-7890.)
