How to say 27 in Japanese?
| Number | Romaji | Kana | Kanji | Audio |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 27 | ni juu nana | にじゅうなな | 二十七 |
Twenty seven is にじゅうなな (ni juu nana) and the kanji is 二十七. Use なな rather than しち in these tens, since it is clearer. For minutes, 27 minutes is にじゅうななふん. For people, say にじゅうななにん, and for age use にじゅうななさい. On signs and tickets, you will see 二十七番. In everyday phrases, you might hear 二十七歳の学生 for a twenty seven year old student. Keep なな short and even, do not drag either な. Practice with the audio and keep the same steady timing across にじゅう into なな.
