oh, like asian counter words? They're largely shape based, help quickly and efficiently confirm what you're talking about (like when counting many things), and other than people and dates as the big unique ones the vast majority of counters are general.
keep in mind this is a 5000 year old chinese system tacked onto a different language, so lol its weird sometimes but it's not that fucking complex anon
picrel is honestly 99% of what you will ever use in japanese. つ for really small things or for "other/general", 個 for general things/items(packs, sets), 本 for cylindrical things, 枚 for flat things like paper, and then small animals (pets), horses (work), and birds/wild game (hunt), then books, machines/equipment/big stuff, minutes, money, people, cans, music, and pieces

15 words to cover 90% of the shit you interact with, and you can always just says つ or 個 for the other 10%

weird, sorta if you think about it in english. difficult or extremely bizzare? no
