OutLawedStar rock_action I don't think this got mentioned, but often, 3 and 6 in counters tend to be awkward. For instance,
二本 「にほん」 nihon
三本 「さんぼん」 sanbon
六本 「ろっぽん」 roppon
or
二匹 「にひき」 nihiki
三匹 「さんびき」 sanbiki
六匹 「ろっぴき」 roppiki
It seems more difficult than it is, I think. Just watch out for 3 and 6... and sometimes 1. ninja o0o0o and sometimes 8!!! ***e.g** ((はｐーぴき)) hap-piki this kind of thinking is still trapped in x=y. language isnt something you can "learn" it is something you must obtain.

It seems more difficult than it is, I think. Just watch out for 3 and 6... and sometimes 1. ninja o0o0o and sometimes 8!!! ***e.g** ((はｐーぴき)) hap-piki almost every number 1 through 10 has some sort of "exception" like that, so you really have to watch out for them all. even more than 1 - 10 sometimes (such as days of the month, 14 and 24 are irregularities in the counting pattern). 20 and 30 are irregularities in the years (age) counter pattern. you just gotta learn through practice. plus like i mentioned, if you know you're going to be counting things and don't know the counters, just look over them before you go out. like if you're going to a zoo, check out the hiki counters. if you're going to be in a tall building, check out the kai counters. practice through application pretty much guarantees learning, and if you're in japan, doing these things is a must. ninja

For minutes it can be fun/pun, depending on what number it is.
