It is because the number four can be pronounced 'shi,' which in Japanese means "death."
The number one in Japanese is "一" which is pronounced as "ichi."
In Japanese, "roku roku" does not have a specific meaning. It may sound like repeating the number "six" (roku), but alone it does not convey a distinct idea.
In Japanese, the number 2 is spelled as 二 (ni).
No, the Japanese language does not have articles like "a," "an," or "the" as seen in English.
It is 'yonjuu ni,' written: 四十二
It is written: 四
7 is called na-na(In kanji 七) in japanese.
The number 9 (九) is generally thought to be unlucky in Japanese culture. This is because it sounds like the word for "pain" or "distress" - 苦 (ku).
4 四 as it is pronounced shi just like the japanese word for death 死 and 7 七 as it's pronounced shichi, again including shi as in death therefore those two numbers have an extra pronounciation yon (4) and nana (7)
I think that what you mean is, "what is the deal with the number 4 in Japanese?"4 might be thought of as a bit like 13 in some western cultures. Its the association with death that makes 4 a bit special. The pronunciation "shi" is the same as for the character 死 meaning death. Also, because "shi" sounds a lotlike "ni" (two) there can be confusion when reciting numbers. In a countdown fora rocket launch, for example, instead of "shi" 4 is spoken as "yon". This comesfrom "the other Japanese numbers."
NO!, it is considered a bad luck number because it sounds to much and is spelled the same as the word death in Japanese
The number one in Japanese is "一" which is pronounced as "ichi."
The number one is 'ichi' in Japanese.
