A finger is a type of digit, an organ of manipulation and sensation found in the hands of humans and other primates.
Humans have five digits on each hand. The first digit is the thumb. Some English speakers may consider the thumb to be a type of finger, leading to the conclusion that humans have five fingers on each hand. Others may consider the term 'finger' to apply only to those four digits that are medial to the thumb, leading to the conclusion that humans have four fingers on each hand.
See, it just depends on your personal point of view.

Yes... when you steal something it's called a 5-finger discount, not 4 fingers and a thumb.

No, not technically. We alwats say 10 fingers, but it's actually 8 fingers and 2 thumbs.

That depends. In learning to play the piano, the thumbs are counted as fingers. In guitar, however, the thumb isn't counted.

I do not know. What I do know is that the thumb is an 'opposing digit'.
