You’ve just started studying Japanese? Then you should build a solid foundation by learning the easiest and most frequently used Japanese words for beginners! 

Japanese dictionaries list anywhere from 55,000 to 82,000 words, though the number of words used per day by ordinary Japanese adults is said to be around 800-900 (or 1000-1200 words for university students). 

Some linguists state that Japanese is one of the most difficult languages for native English speakers to learn. The Foreign Service Institute (FSI) has labeled Japanese a Category IV language, which is the most difficult level. 

However, there are a few things about Japanese that English speakers find easy. While it can take forever to master the Kanji system for reading and writing, learning how to listen and speak in daily conversations isn’t as difficult as you may think! You don’t have to worry about whether to use singular or plural forms, which article to add before a noun, or how to conjugate verbs (I am / she is / they are). These concepts do not exist in the Japanese language!

In this article, JapanesePod101.com will introduce the most useful Japanese beginner words that are used in everyday situations.

2. Numbers – 数字 (Sūji)

Japanese numbers are very simple. 

The names of all numbers in Japanese consist of the ten basic numbers shown below, except for certain units such as: hundred (百 hyaku), thousand (千 sen), ten-thousand (万 man), etc. There are no particular names like “eleven,” “twelve,” “thirty,” or “fifty.”

For example:

• Eleven in Japanese is read as jū-ichi, which is literally “ten-one.”
• Fifteen in Japanese is read as jū-go, which is literally “ten-five.”
• Thirty-five in Japanese is read as san-jū go, which is literally “three-ten-five.”

one	一	いち	ichi
two	二	に	ni
three	三	さん	san
four	四	し/ よん	shi / yon

  Kono pen wa kyū-jū go-en de, sono enpitsu wa nana-jū-en desu.

  Watashi wa Eigo o go-nen, Itaria-go o ichi-nen benkyō shite imasu.
  “I have been studying English for five years and Italian for one year.”

There are several variations of Japanese counters, each one used according to what’s being counted.
Birds = 1羽 (ichi-wa)、2羽(ni-wa), Books = 1冊(issatsu)、2冊(ni-satsu), Shoes = 1足(issoku)、2足(ni-soku)

a predicate that is placed at the end of a sentence(past tense / casual)	だった	datta
a predicate that is placed at the end of a sentence(past tense / polite)	でした	deshita

  “He was a student, too.”
