NIHONGO ICHIBAN 
Excuse me. How do you say ‘4 hours’ in Japanese? 四時間 ＝よん時間 or しん時間 ? I translated them by google translator and it shows よん時間 but in a test I did my teacher corrected to しん時間. I’m very confused.
Thank you much for your very good question. The proper use of Japanese numbers can be very confusing. In your case the correct answer is YO-JIKAN.
