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
