Nihongo no Tane 91 魚の数え方 How to Count Fish | Japanese Immersion podcast

<p>Yumi continues to talk about counters in Japanese. This series started due to a question from a listener about how to count Godzilla. Then, she talked about rabbits (which uses 一羽 ichiwa -- just like birds). This time, she turns her attention to fish. Fish in general are easy to count. But… of course, it isn't that simple in the real world.</p> <p> </p> <p>KEY VOCABULARY:</p> <p>数(かぞ)え方(かた) way of counting</p> <p>島国(しまぐに) island country</p> <p>たくさんの種類(しゅるい) many varieties</p> <p>季節(きせつ)による by season; according to the season</p> <p>サバ (mackerel)、サンマ (Pacific saury; mackerel pike)、アジ (horse mackerel)、マグロ (tuna)、ブリ (Japanese amberjack)、イワシ (sardine)、カツオ (bonito)、イカ (squid)、カニ (crab)、エビ (shrimp)、貝類(かいるい) (shellfish)、海藻(かいそう) (seaweed)、ワカメ (wakame seaweed)、昆布(こんぶ) (konbu kelp)、フグ (puffer fish)</p> <p>水族館(すいぞくかん) aquarium</p> <p>漁師(りょうし)さん fisherman</p> <p> </p> <p>For upper beginners to intermediates.
