We have grouped a small set of 10 JLPT N5 Japanese kotoba that are used as suffix to count objects, people, animals, birds etc…
Note: You must know Hiragana, Katakana and Kanji to learn them.
This is a easy milestone to cross because you have to attach "suffix" to numbers producing the counting of that number. That is all. Looking at the Japanese writing you can easily understand the counting. However you will have to take care of the reading for Japanese words.
