    And irrational imaginary numbers. I mean the numbers make sense, but it’s not like we can intuitively understand sqrt(-1).

      Your example is a complex number. An irrational number would be Pi or sqrt(5)

      You’re thinking of imaginary numbers. Irrational numbers are real numbers that have an infinite number of decimal places and don’t repeat.
