Kanji Numbers (1-3)

Let's start with the most basic kanji characters: numbers.

Number 1
一 (kanji)
いち (on reading)
ひと(つ) (kun reading)

Useful compounds:

• 一月 (いちがつ) ichigatsu - January

• 一度 (いちど) ichido - one time

• 一人 (ひとり) hitori - one person

Number 2
二 (kanji)
に (on reading)
ふた(つ) (kun reading)

Useful compounds:

• ニ十 (にじゅう) nijuu - 20

• ニ月 (にがつ) nigatsu - February

• ニ人 (ふたり) futari - two people

Number 3
三 (kanji)

みっ(つ) (kun reading)

Useful compounds:

• 三角 (さんかく) sankaku - triangle

• 三脚 (さんきゃく) sankyaku - tripod

• 三日 (みっか) mikka - 3 days; 3rd of the month

So far, so good. The first three numbers are a piece of cake. Who can forget 一, ニ and 三? Anyway, I'll continue with the rest of the numbers (until 10) tomorrow. じゃあまたね
