Spiegazione

〜枚 (まい) is the counter for flat, thin objects like paper, shirts, tickets, or plates. The pronunciation does not change with the number. Key points: • Use 〜枚 for flat items • Same reading for all numbers: いちまい, にまい, さんまい • Common for paper, shirts, tickets • Easy and regular Example: “切符を二枚買いました” means “I bought two tickets.” Because the reading is regular, 〜枚 is one of the easiest counters to use. Practice by counting paper and shirts: 紙を三枚, シャツを二枚.
