question
counters numbers
How would you say "please give me 10 of this"?
You can stay with the form:

> これを〇〇ください

But beyond 9, you'd need to switch from the traditional _hitotsu-futatsu_
numerals to _ichi-ni_ -style and add an appropriate counter for the item.

For a generic counter you would use:

  * 個{こ} - so for "10 of this": 10個 (じゅっこ) then 11個 (じゅういっこ), 12個 (じゅうにこ), etc.

But depending on the requested object itself, you might use:

  * 本{ほん} for long, thin objects (like pens or kushi-katsu): 10本 (じゅっぽん), 11本 (じゅういっぽん), 12本 (じゅうにほん), ...

  * 冊{さつ} for books/brochures: 10冊 (じゅっさつ), 11冊 (じゅういっさつ), 12冊 (じゅうにさつ), ...

  * or other counters [listed here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_counter_word#Extended_list_of_counters)

Notice that many of these compounds have irregular pronunciation.

And also you can use them for the quantities below 10: 3個 (さんこ), 4本 (よんほん), 5枚
(ごまい)
