00:00Why is there no fourth floor in Japan?

00:02Here, after the third floor, it goes straight to the fifth floor,

00:05and if you visit any hotel, hospital, or mall in Japan, you won't see the number 4 anywhere.

00:09In fact, you won't even find the number 4 in Japanese people's mobile numbers,

00:13and numbers like 14, 24, and 42 are also avoided.

00:16But why is that?

00:17That's because friends, in the Japanese language, the word for 4 also means death.

00:21To explain it simply, in the Japanese language, if you say death,

00:24it sounds almost exactly like the word for 4.

00:27Because of this, if someone is sick in Japan, it's strictly forbidden to say 4 in front of them, since 4 means death.

00:33That's why you won't see the number 4 being used anywhere in Japan.

00:36So what do people use instead of the number 4?

00:38To solve this problem, people here use the previous number along with an A.

00:42For example, instead of 1, 2, 3, and 4, they say 1, 2, 3, then 3A, then 5, 6, 7.

00:48Similarly, after 13, they say 13A, then 15.

00:51And if you didn't know about this fact, then like this video.
