How to say 24 in Japanese?
| Number | Romaji | Kana | Kanji | Audio |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 24 | ni juu yon | にじゅうよん | 二十四 |
Twenty four is にじゅうよん (ni juu yon), written 二十四. Use よん here, not し, for clarity in everyday speech. In time, 24 minutes is にじゅうよんぷん, and for age say にじゅうよんさい. For people, use にじゅうよにん or more clearly にじゅうよんにん depending on style, with よんにん the most transparent. On labels and tickets, you will see 二十四番 for number twenty four. In general counting with 個, say 二十四個 (にじゅうよんこ). Keep よん short and flat, connect it to じゅう without a pause, and match the audio until your pacing is even.
