    Hi, so I was reading this sentence and it’s somewhat confusing.

    十は七じゃありません

    In the textfugu audio it pronounced 七 as なな but shouldn’t it be pronounced as しち instead? Because I think I read somewhere you should use the on-yomi pronounciation instead when using numbers.

    Please explain, thanks.

    7 and 4 are exceptions and typically read as なな and よん.

    Rather than “typically read as なな and よん”, it’s more that the readings for 7 and 4 tend to be fairly interchangeable.
