Is there a word in Japanese that sounds like "quantify?"  If so, what does it mean?

This is a tough one.  How does your boss pronounce the word?\n\nOften, people change the "t" in "quantify" to a softer "d" sound so it sounds like "kwandifai."\n\nOthers leave it out entirely so it sounds like "kwannifai."\n\nIn both cases, they start with kwan, which sounds to me like "kuwan" an informal form of the verb "kuu" which means to eat.  To eat is usually translated to "taberu" but "kuu" has a baser hungrier meaning.  That sounds giggle-worthy to me.  :-)\n\nThere aren't any words that are close to "nifai", but "fai" by itself is close to "faibu" (the final bu is not always very loud), which means "five."\n\nI remember a similar incident while I was teaching English at a Japanese Junior High and every time I said "Ready, set, GO!"  the class would giggle.  It turned out that the rhythym of the words was very similar to a slogan for a popular moth repellant on TV that went "Tansu ni GON!"  \n\nI didn't think it was funny / similar at the time, but something like that could have been going on their heads.  It could be a way to initiate some conversation with members of the group, if that is still possible.  After all, shared experiences are a good foundation for a lasting relationship.

I believe the word for reasonable is ききわけのいい - kikiwake no ii. \n\nBoth of those examples would use different words for reasonable. In the first one, you'd probably want to use the one above.\n\nIn the second, about the car, ねごろ - negoro (reasonable price) or てきせいかかく - tekiseikakaku (fair or reasonable price) or even かくやす - kakuyasu (cheap or reasonable) would probably be best.\n\nThere are a lot of words for this.

ようこそ - youkoso - welcome\n\nThe "you" is pronounced like "yo" but with a longer "o" sound - ideally, the "you" and "koso" should be the same length.\n\nand for future reference 今日は - konnichiwa - means "hello" or "good day," rather than welcome.

Strange question, but I guess the answer would be "tones"

Quantitative relates to quantity. In a workplace, it could relate for example to sales. In quantitative measurement, salesmen would get ranked on how many $$$ in sales they did. In qualitative measurement, they might get ranked on things like "customer satisfaction" or "product knowledge"...\nQuantitative tends to be objective, where qualitative can be subjective.

none of the above.  Self-evident is the closest, but that isn't really a compound word, it's a hyphenated word.
