Not sure about Japanese, but what you say is true for Mandarin Chinese.Originally Posted by stovellp
Not sure about other dialects, but for Mandarin it goes:I heard children from asian countries (especially Japan) find the first few years at school very easy as far as maths goes because their counting system goes
"zero one two three four five six seven eight nine"
then
"one-zero one-one one-two"...
ie, they only have to remember the first 10 numbers, while us English speakers have the first 10, then we get into "teens", then "twenties", then "hundreds" etc etc.
Zero, One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine
Ten, Ten-one, Ten-two, Ten-three, Ten-four, Ten-five, Ten-six, Ten-seven, Ten-eight, Ten-nine
Two-ten, Two-ten-one, Two-ten-two, Two-ten-three, etc...
Just Google It. √

Yeah that's strange, even my program has difficulties.
Code:#include <iostream> #include <string> using namespace std; int main() { char array[120]={" FINISHED FILES ARE THE RESULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS..."}; int size=strlen(array); int counter=-3; for(int i=0 ; i <size; i++) { if(array[i]=='F') { counter++; } } cout<<counter; int stop; cin>>stop; }

I understood what you said MW_PAUL_UK. Scarry thing!
One reason besides the sound differences in of might be the fact that quite a few languages get by without a word filling the space of "of" at all - it is a case, like in Latin.
Languages have many different ways of counting numbers. Japanese's system is essentially 0-10, then 10+1, 10+2 etc. At 20, it is (2 x 10), (2 x 10 + 1), etc. This pattern is continued for a while. This is because Japanese borrowed from Chinese.
My favorite (and the most complex IMHO) is in Nimbia, a dialect of Gwandara spoken in Nigeria. It is a duodecimal system, so it goes from 1-12 and then gets more complex. It goes 12 + 1, 12 + 2, until 24, which is (12 x 2), then (12 x 2 + 1), etc. 70 is "gume biyar ni gwom" (12 x 5 + 10). This continues up to 144 ("wo"), or "12 squared".
Hindi is similar to our counting system up to 100. I don't want to spend time going into it now, but here's an example:
baaruh karor chauntees lakh chhuppun hazar saat sau nuwaasee
12 × 10000000 + 34 × 100000 + 56 × 1000 + 7 × 100 + 89
123456789
Do not make direct eye contact with me.
Good God, I counted it 6! Yey!
