  1. it says kazu or suu.

    suuji is 数字.


  2. Should be kazu.

    My listening package has a section called iroirona kazu.

  3. Kazu is numbers (also amount).

    Suu is meant as several (a number).  Not "numbers" in "1, 2, 3, 4, 5" etc

    Atai is a mathematical number (価)

    Nanba is the katakana version- ナンバー

  4. For numbers, like 1,2,3, etc, you should say 数字 (suuji). It translates literally as 'counting characters,' just like ローマ字 (roomaji) is 'Roman characters,' and 漢字 (kanji) is 'Chinese characters.' This is the basic word you're looking for.

    数 by itself means 'number' in the abstract, as in 'the number of cars imported to the US.'

    価 (atai) translates as 'number,' but usually denotes a 'value,' as in an equation or computer code.

  5. 数 .. that is numbers in japanese x
