32 (三十二): san (3) × jū (10) + ni (2).
CountersWhich counter is used for "beer" (bīru)?
本 (hon), the counter for long thin objects such as bottles. Three bottles is 三本 san-bon: hon becomes -bon after san.
MixedWhat is the romaji for 64?
roku-jū-yon (六十四). The mixed level blends 1 to 100 questions like this one with counter questions.
Reading variationWhen counting objects, is 四 read yon or shi?
yon, as in yon-hon (four bottles). shi sounds like 死 (death) and is avoided with most counters; it survives in months (shi-gatsu, April), compounds, and when reciting ichi, ni, san, shi in order.
Pick a level to test
The four difficulty buttons let you scope the test to exactly what you are learning:
- 1 to 10: the core Sino-Japanese readings ichi through jū. Start here.
- 1 to 100: the full two-digit range, including the tens and compound forms such as nana-jū-hachi (78). This is the level most learners search for as a Japanese number quiz 1-100.
- Counters: a noun is shown and you pick the counter it takes (hon, mai, hiki, nin), the part of the system that trips up the most people.
- Mixed: pulls from 1 to 100 and counters together for a harder, exam-style test.
About this quiz
This free Japanese numbers quiz drills the Sino-Japanese readings from 1 to 100 and the most common counters, with no signup. Four modes let you practise different skills: multiple choice and listen build recognition, type romaji builds active recall and spelling, and counters tests which counter a noun takes. Difficulty runs from 1 to 10 up to a mixed set that pulls from everything. Questions are drawn at random each time, so every session is a different mix (at the 1 to 10 level some will repeat), and the score tracks only in your browser.
Frequently asked questions
How does the Japanese numbers quiz work?
Pick one of four modes (multiple choice, type romaji, listen, or counters) and a difficulty (1 to 10, 1 to 100, counters, or mixed), then answer. After each question the correct romaji is shown and a running score updates. The score is stored only in your browser and resets when you refresh the page. It is free and needs no signup.
What do the four quiz modes test?
Multiple choice asks you to pick the romaji for a shown numeral. Type romaji tests active recall and spelling, and accepts common romanisation variants (macron or doubled vowel, with or without hyphens). Listen plays the number aloud with the browser Web Speech API so you identify it by ear. Counters gives a noun and asks which counter it takes.
Is the quiz free and does it need an account?
Yes, it is free with no signup and no login. Nothing is uploaded: your score lives in the browser tab only and clears on refresh.
How should a beginner start?
Begin with multiple choice at the 1 to 10 level to fix the core Sino-Japanese readings, then move to type romaji at 1 to 100 for active recall, and finish with the counters mode, which is where most learners lose marks.
Is there a Japanese numbers quiz for 1 to 100?
Yes. Select the 1 to 100 level and the quiz draws every question from the full 1 to 99 range, including the tens (ni-jū, san-jū) and the compound forms (nana-jū-hachi). Combine it with type romaji mode to test whether you can build any two-digit number from memory, not just recognise it. The mixed level pulls from 1 to 100 plus counters for a harder set.
