Hundred

JLPT N5

Interesting Fact

One of Japan's most famous proverbs is Hyakubun wa Ikken ni Shikazu (็™พ่žใฏไธ€่ฆ‹ใซๅฆ‚ใ‹ใš): "Hearing something one hundred times is not as good as seeing it once." The saying reminds us that experience is often a better teacher than words. You can listen to one hundred stories about a place, but seeing it with your own eyes is something entirely different.

Memory Trick

Imagine stacking one hundred gold coins into a towering pile. That's ็™พ, meaning hundred.
