"It is 10000 yen."

Translation: 一万円です。

[LeviHaunsc]

Do we really need the "一"

[Markvdk1]

Starting at 万, numbers always begin with 一 if there is no other preceding number. This does not count for 百 and 千. (though you can still write 一 in front of them to put emphasis)

Example:

100 - 百

1000 - 千

10.000 - 一万

100.000.00 一億

hope that helps!

[OrewaDareda]

Can you please mention how the kanji for 10000000 is spelt? Thanks in advance

[vngdhuyen]

一億 (いちおく) is actually a hundred million 100,000,000.

[ZiadAbdat1]

Since Japanese using 4 digits denomination, so it is spelled as 1,0000,0000 that why its translate as いちおく.
おく in this term means 10^8.

[V2Blast]

億（おく） = 100 million (100,000,000).

[Mels182143]

Then why was it accepted before without the "一”? Like when we need to write "１１,０００", I could write "万千” without the "一“ and it was accepted.

[ClementLoh]

I typed 万円 for 10,000yen and its not accepted

[MikaelMatt9]

Like he said, it is only needed "If there is no other preceding number".

[AstralRealms]

That's what. He said proceeding, not succeeding.
But seems it still counts?

[boa96279]

is there any real reason to do so

[PetoiLin]

Thank a lot. That was very helpful!

[4lbyeZMy]

Thats pretty helpful!

[LillyLobba]

I was wondering about that! Some of them use the ichi, but some don't. Is there a rule for this?

[DanMcIlrav]

"万円です" は違いますか?

[V2Blast]

Yes; I'm pretty sure the 一（いち） is needed before numerical denominations starting at 万（まん） and up if there is no other preceding number.

[KumarAmrit3]

What's that kanji in between は & い? Thank you.

[ZiadAbdat1]

it means "different".
He is asking whether "万円です" has different/wrong meaning with the answer

[kairu260485]

Just didnt count enough zeros. Guess i have to go back to that lesson on zeros

[DanielBoujadi]

Hahahaha!

[Daniel-Chappell]

Yeah, why do we write the character for one in front of the character for 10,000, but the characters for ten, hundred and thousand dont need it?

[KivetKertokaa]

if 万 is 10.000, why 一万 also is 10.000?

[Ysaye6]

I think of it as the difference between saying "a hundred" and "one hundred."

[TyrantRC]

「一万円です」

【いち- まん・えんです】

[R_hajimemashite]

It is 11000 yen.

Please translate this in Japanese for me. TIA.

[Sadao935321]

I keep hearing "yen" in most senteces instead of "en". Should I say "yen" or "en" in sentences?

[StefanHild]

万千百円です was accepted as "It is 11,100 yen."
If the rule is that 一 is needed from 10,000 yen, either that other exercise is wrong is this one is.

Let us know what is the correct answer to this problem.

[LeonTheMighty]

The way I figure out 万 is draw an invisible line four digits to the left. Now look at the left side and ignore the rest for now. If it is 10000 then you would draw the line between 1 and 0. On the left there is only 1 so you have 一 and because it is a million you add 万. If you have something like 12340 then we would have 一(because the line still draws between one and two) 二千(for the number of thousands there are) 三百(for the number of hundreds) and 四十円（for forty yen) all together it would be 一万二千三百四十円. I hope that helps some

[Jonathan558471]

Friggin hard

[chic-geek]

Is the ー for long syllables in katakana different from the character for 一 (いち)?

I assume so because my answer wasn't accepted, and posting here in case others have the same question.
