thankyou! ... numbers was the first thing in japanese i learnt, and i learnt that when i went for a lecture at an open day for a university, was very interesting =]

Thanks so much. I always wanted to learn this. It was great.

Your welcome! Also there was a typo in a few of the samples... I just fixed it haha. Hopefully no one learned it wrong because of me!

that so helpful.
thanks ya..

rondillo san
you are great~!

I just want to add a bit more from what Rondillo-san （ロンヂロさん）had written before.
Let say u're 25 yrs old.
It say like this わたしは 25さいです。 「Watashi wa nijugo-sai desu.」
just add -sai behind your num.
But for 20 yrs old, it has special name for 20 y o.
It is はたちです。「hatachi desu.」
No need to put -sai behind hatachi. So, it just be like this:
わたしは 20です。 「Watashiwa hatachi desu.」

For telling your phone num.
If u're asking phone num from some one:
Q: あなたの でんわばんぐを なんばん ですか？ 「Anata no denwa-bango o nanban desuka?」
means: "What is your phone num?"
Or you could ask like this,
Q: あなたの でんわばんぐを おしえてください？ 「Anata no denwa-bango o o-shiete kudasai ?」
which means : "Could you plz tell me ur phone num?"

So to answer the num is like this:
Either you say in full sentence or just say the num.
A: わたしの でんわばんぐは 012-345 6789です。 「Watashi no denwa-bango wa 'zero-ichi-ni-no-san-yon-go-roku-nana-hatchi-kyu' desu.」

This is what i've learnt in class.
If somebody who are speaking jap and want to show in their daily language i'm appreciate.
Coz' I want to know too.

And thaks to Rondillo-san （ロンヂロさん）to show the table of num in kanji. It's really helpfull.
ありがとう。
