do we have four fingers and a thumb or three fingers, a pinkie and a thumb?

Question

me and my friend keep arguing about this, i dont know why...............lol..................

Answer 1

We (most of us) have four fingers and a thumb. Pinkie is just the word used to describe one of the fingers. Just the same as pointer finger or middle finger. Pinkie FINGER. Also the pinkie has 3 joints like the rest of the fingers. The thumb only has 2.

Answer 2

You have 4 fingers. The thumb is actually an extension of the palm. While in the fetus, the fingers develop from the outer to the inner. In easy terms, the pinky first.

Answer 3

I have 8 fingers & 2 thumbs.

Answer 4

Four fingers and a thumb on each hand; anatomically a pinkie is considered to be a finger. Now, stop the arguing and hurry back to your English grammar class - it's my friend and I, not me and my friend.

Answer 5

Five fingers. Y'all are half wrong. :-)
Five fingers, which can either be broken down into four fingers/one thumb or three fingers/pinkie/thumb. Just call them five appendages. (Insert a new word into the argument.)

Answer 6

three fingers a pinky and a thumb

Answer 7

Four fingers and a thumb.

Answer 8

5 fingers, Thumb, pinki, index, ring, and middle.

Answer 9

Do not discriminate one finger from the other! All those fingers are respected by Human Anatomy!
By the way, a person that discriminate one finger from the other shall be termed...?

1-Thumb
2-Index finger, pointer finger, or forefinger
3-Middle finger, long finger
4-Ring finger
5-Little finger, or pinky finger
