How do you refer to items in a list?


Given a list of things...

  1. dog
  2. cat
  3. fish

How would you say...

  1. _the second item in the list_ : ２目番?

  2. _all three of them_ : 全部三つ?

  3. _two of them_ (not regarding the position in the list): ２匹 or ２目?

Is this pattern correct?




You are almost there. ~全部{ぜんぶ}3つ~ sounds definitely off, but 3つ全部{ぜんぶ} is
fine.

## The first, the second, the third...

  * 一番目{いちばんめ}、二番目{にばんめ}、三番目{さんばんめ} _Slightly_ more formal tone.
  * 1つ目{め}、2つ目{め}、3つ目{め} _Slightly_ more casual tone, perhaps used more often between people of equal / similar status. 

## All 3 of them, all of them

  * 3つとも
  * これらすべて
  * 3つすべて
  * 全部

### If there were 2 items

  * 2つとも
  * 両方{りょうほう}

> **Note:** In this case you wouldn't say すべて or 全部

## Two of them

  * これらのうち2つ
  * このうち（の）2つ

* * *

## How do you say 1つ、2つ、3つ...?

  * 1つ → ひとつ
  * 2つ → ふたつ
  * 3つ → み **っ** つ
  * 4つ → よ **っ** つ
  * 5つ → いつつ
  * 6つ → む **っ** つ
  * 7つ → ななつ
  * 8つ → や **っ** つ
  * 9つ → ここのつ
  * 10 → じゅ **っ** こ

### What about 10【とお】?

The old pronunciation とお is to all intents and purposes never used in spoken
conversation. For numbers after 10 you would resort to じゅっこ、じゅういっこ、じゅうにこ...

  * じゅっこすべて
  * じゅっことも 
  * このうち（の）じゅっこ
