Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! “What’s your lucky number? You don’t have a lucky number? Why not?” Your friends have been talking to you about Japanese culture and numbers. “Everyone needs a lucky number,” they exclaim in Japanese! “How about forty-two?” you ask in Japanese; you’ve always liked the way forty-two sounds in Japanese. They look at you as if you’re working with an odd number of chopsticks. “You know…,” you say, “The number forty-two, like in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy; the answer to life, the universe, and everything.” Now they’re sure you’ve got a screw loose. “Japanese numbers have meaning,” they explain in Japanese, “Some Japanese numbers are unlucky, and some are very lucky. Some are lucky depending on when you were born. Haven’t you picked out your lucky and unlucky Japanese numbers?” You confess this is all news to you and you haven’t the slightest notion of what’s lucky and unlucky in Japanese numbers. “What about a number between eleven and nineteen?” you ask, because those are the numbers you just learned in Japanese. “Well, it’s time you began your introduction to the symbols of Japanese numbers,” they say, and they lead you off to the computer, the modern-day numerologist to find your lucky and unlucky Japanese numbers.

Is it right to say 14 jushi
Saturday at 7:32 am
Hi there! If I’m not mistaken, Jushi is written like this: じゅし. Right? =)

Franciscoさん,
Juushi (14) has a long vowel in it, so it would look like this: じゅうし
