How to Count to Ten in Japanese

In Japanese, counting to ten is straightforward. Here's how:

1. Ichi (一): 1
2. Ni (二): 2
3. San (三): 3
4. Yon (四): 4
5. Go (五): 5
6. Roku (六): 6
7. Nana (七): 7
8. Hachi (八): 8
9. Kyu (九): 9
10. Ju (十): 10

While the provided reference uses "ikko," "niko," etc., these are less common ways to count individual items. The above list shows the standard way to count to ten. The reference's examples are likely using a counting system for specific objects and not a general counting sequence. Therefore, the standard numerals are presented here as the primary way to count to ten in Japanese.

The reference mentions "jukko" (10) within the context of counting items, demonstrating alternative counting styles, but the more common form is simply "Ju" (十).
