Hello. I want to say "That teacher in every 20-word sentence, says the word "data" 4 times, "information" 3 times, "system" 3 times, "secretery" 2 times, "depiction" 2 times etc "
その先生は20単語の文には四回に"資料"、三回に"情報"、三回に"システム、二回
に"書記"、二回に"表現"とかという言葉を言うます
I would be grateful if someone tell me if I have tramsitted succesful that meaning or not?

Re: help with a sentence
I think It is more natural to say 「"資料"を四回、"情報"を三回、"システム"を三回言います」, but it gets confusing if you add more words in between the last "三回" and "言います".bigbill wrote:Hello.

Are you trying to imply that the teacher uses those words a lot, and aren't actually stating the exact number of times they say them?
I would maybe try something like その先生が２０個の単語のある文を言うなら、その中の四つの単語が”資料”、三つが”情報”、三つが”システム”であるでしょう。
I don't know if that's very good, though, because your original sentence is long and complicated

How about,
その先生の言葉２０個に４個が「資料」、３個が「情報」、…、そして２個が「表現」です。
