<p>
	In this lesson we introduce the counter <strong><ruby>万man</ruby></strong> for counting <strong>ten thousand</strong>. 
	A peculiar feature of the Japanese number system is that beyond <strong>10,000</strong>, numbers are counted in units of <strong>10,000</strong>.
	There is no specific counter for million.
	Therefore, to say one million you  would say <strong><ruby>百hyaku万man</ruby></strong>, a hundred ten thousands.
	Using <strong><ruby>万man</ruby></strong> like this, you can count up to tens of millions.
	From <strong>hundred million</strong> onward another counter is used, which you will learn later.
</p>

<p>
	Unlike with <strong><ruby>千sen</ruby></strong>, there are no changes in pronunciation when counting with <strong><ruby>万man</ruby></strong>,
	just as with all other counters starting with an <strong>m</strong> sound.
</p>
