It is pronounce "Ni" which sounds like "knee" in English. You might be thinking, "Well, what's all this fuss about kanji being hard for?!?! It seems pretty easy by looking at this number 2 kanji!" Sure one and two, and even three stroke kanjis aren't that hard... but how about... say... 18 strokes or 25 strokes! HA! I think that the kanji "difficult" is even a bit difficult at 18 strokes!

So... let's just stick to the number "two" today. Now, there is not much more that I want to say about two (I mean, how hard is two, right? What else is there to say?) except that based on the number "one" (my first post) and today's number "two", can you guess what the kanji for "three" looks like? :)
Oh yes, one more thing... there are other pronunciations for the kanji "two" besides "knee" that are used all the time. They are: ji, futa, futa.tsu, futata.bi, oto, tsugu, nii, ha, fu, futatsu, fuda, and last but not least wa!
Eeeeeck! Right?
Gotta love it. :)
