Hi KoOkY,

I'm trying to give you the answer.
We have a lot of numeration to count something.
It's counter suffix or "josuushi"

When we count papers,we say "mai".
e.g. a car     = ichi dai no kuruma
     two cars  = ni dai no kuruma
     a book    = issatsu no hon(we don't say "ichi satsu")
     two books = ni satsu no hon

you got it?

i'm sorry for my poor English.

Hiro
