I'm at least familiar with the latter word in the form of phrases like 「本当に好きです」(I really like it) or 「本当か?」(Really?).

I came across this on a YouTube playlist.

400本の動画 (yohyakupon no douga)

This translates as "400 videos". But「本」(hon) means book. 「動画」(douga) is video. My first thought was this should be something like "400 videos of books", which didn't make sense.

After looking this up apparently「本」is also used as a counter.

As an aside, it also means principal or main, as in 「本社」(honsha - main office), or real, as in「本名」(honmyou - real name) or「本当」(hontou - fact/reality/truth).

Thought I was caught in one of those Google Translate jokes for a moment.

All those “ni wa”s. I had it as a listening exercise first time around and I thought something had broken 😵‍💫😄

I'm using a pre-built anki deck to study kanji. Most of the time it's pretty good, but because it focuses on similarity of kanji I sometimes get pretty unusual kanji. For example, I now know how to write "constitutional", but not how to write the I punched someone.
