Explanation

The Japanese suffix '箇国 (かこく)' is used to count or refer to multiple countries. It is often used in formal or written contexts, such as in legal documents, reports, or academic discussions. For example: three countries「三箇国」(さんかこく). This suffix is typically attached to numbers or quantifiers to specify the number of countries being discussed. It is important to note that '箇国' is more formal and less commonly used in everyday conversation compared to '国 (くに)' when referring to countries. Example sentences: The treaty involves five countries「その条約は五箇国が関わっている」(そのじょうやくはごかこくがかかわっている). The survey covers ten countries「その調査は十箇国を対象としている」(そのちょうさはじゅっかこくをたいしょうとしている).
