13 juu san じゅうさん 十三

Thirteen is じゅうさん (juu san). It is used often in dates, seats, and platform numbers. The rhythm is even across じゅう and さん, so avoid stretching either part. Combine it with counters as 十三個 for thirteen pieces or 十三人 for thirteen people. Say it with the audio until it feels clean and steady.
