everyone! i want to eat 10,000 apples!

Here, ringo and ga is a noun each, man kuu tai are the verb, am i right?

Does that sound ok? I mean, in a less serious context like talking to a close friend. Of course i won't try to tell a stranger that i want to eat 10,000 apples lol...
Like Masaegu, I like your ambition.

One of the hardest things in Japanese for native English speakers is counters.

Five apples isn't ご りんご

It is りんご ごこ (りんご五個)

Five people

ひと ごにん (人五人)

Five fingers

ゆび ごほん (指五本)

Fun stuff, huh?
