More numbers

Hooray! I now know not only the number for one hundred, but also the number for one thousand! I can count!
one hundred - hyaku
two hundred - nihyaku
one thousand - sen/issen
two thousand - nisen 

Also, the word for Japanese currency (yen, in English) is en in Japanese, and just gets tacked on to the end of the number word: ichien, juuen, nihyakuen, and so on.

Hiragana of the day: na な and ni に.
