It's not easy to retain vocabulary and expressions when studying a language, and it's challenging to get words out on the spot when you're having conversations. I hope these weekly posts could be good practice for your Japanese studies!!
The question for today is: How do you say "One Hundred" in Japanese??

百 [Hyaku]
be careful because depending on the digit in the hundredth place, it can be read differently.
2 [Ni] and 100 [Hyaku] together make "Ni-hyaku" which is 200
Simple right? But let's take a look at the other numbers
3 [San] and 100 [Hyaku] together make San-byaku, and not "Sanhyaku"
600 [Ro-ppyaku] not "Roku-hyaku"
800 [Ha-ppyaku] not "Hachi-hyaku"
Writer's note: you don't say Ichihyaku either. It's the same with how we say "a hundred" in English.
