For him, counting sheep at night does NOT help him fall asleep

[samthomas]

When that Japanese guy got confused and the guy smirked at us like" we got him, guys" was refreshing. 😂

[Nuze]

I spit my water out at "APPLE PEN" 🤣

[edwardpolo]

-How do you count things in Japanese
-😐-->😁

[amandas.]

I love the smile to the camera while the other guy short circuits over sheep being big yet small!

[pinpetos]

He's having an existential crisis over sheep 😂

[YanKenPon]

The "APPLE PEN" out of nowhere 🤣🤣🤣

[JeraWolfe]

Watching him Glitch and that smile... so good!

The sheep one was a question I had to ask my Japanese teacher before. They were also confused.

[afiaaahx]

When he got confused about the sheep, and his "hm??" makes me laugh so hard 😂

[littlebrittle]

“Apple pen” was exactly what I needed today.

[SarasMelodicSunrise]

I swear I nearly died laughing when you turned towards the camera ironically while he was deciding between ippiki and itto lmao that was perfection

[mikaki]

That smile.
I got a bad feeling about that.

For people who are confused Japanese has a counter system for counting objects. This means that depending on the type of object you are counting, you use different counters. hiki(small animals) tou(large animals) wa(birds). This is a bit weird coming from English but we do use our own counters as well, like went we say “pieces of candy”(small objects) or “sheets of paper”(flat objects)
