What? which WHAT uses ふん or ぷん?
shit makes no sense.

ふん = Fu or Hu + N (as in foo/hoo (like HUla dancer)

ぷん = Pu N (like poo.)

are you just having difficulty between ぷ and ふ?

Minutes

Like for example to say it is 3:31 pm you say

いまさんじさんじゅういっぷんです。

But for other minutes it ends with fun, like nifun or gofun. Shit be confus

It's pretty simple :
The ones that are one syllable long and end in a vowel end in ふん (に, ご...)
The other ones end in ぷん or っぷん

Not really. It's good practice for the thousands upon thousands of other things you'll have to memorize anyway.

Are you retarded? it takes like 10 minutes to memorize this shit. I suggest you give up Japanese immediately. It gets much harder.

Just memorize it. If you are having trouble with this, then good luck when shit gets hard.

After dealing with counters for a while, you can sort of expect which ones will have irregular prounciation.

no seriously. noone gives a fuck

just learn other stuff, as you use 分　in your sentences, you'll get a feel of which takes ぷん　と　ぶん　

2, 5, 7, 9 are ふん
The rest are ぷん
that's all you gotta remember

english has 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th until 21st. you memorized that shit
