Number system explanation:
Note:
Different versions / stylizations of the rōmaji are possible, this tool only excepts the style as shown here.
For example: kyuu vs. kyū vs. kyu- or ni hyaku vs. nihyaku vs. ni-hyaku etc.
The tool will only accept the "kyuu" spelling, they may however be written with or without a space (ni hyaku & nihyaku).
Expand to show number information in Rōmaji, Hiragana, Kanji etc. ...
General:
One number can have multiple readings, the main readings are noted here. Which one to use when can change depending on the context it is used in. For more information see the external links below.
While the readings for the numbers may change and vary the Kanji will remain the same, so these may be easier to remember.
There also exists a separate set of kanji for numerals called daiji (大字) used in legal and financial documents to prevent fraud.
