Example Word

数: number or amount. The Japanese noun '数 (すう)' primarily means 'number' or 'amount'. It refers to a numerical value or quantity of something. This word is often used in contexts involving counting, mathematics, or general quantities. For example: the number of students is increasing「学生の数が増えている」(がくせいのかずがふえている). The amount of work is too much「仕事の数が多すぎる」(しごとのかずがおおすぎる). Note that '数' can also imply a sense of 'several' or 'a few' when used in phrases like '数日 (すうじつ)' meaning 'several days'.
