Japanese Lesson 6: How To Read/Write/Say Days, Months and Year

Let's learn how to read/write/say Days of the week and Months of the year in Japanese! For month, in Japanese, the word is a combination of "number + month". For example: January is Ichi-gatsu(いち ). Ichi(いちがつ) = 1, gatsu(がつ) = month.

 

Year = nen ねん / 年

In Japanese Lesson 7, you will learn how to read/write/say numbers in Japanese. So, to read/write/say a certain year, just combine the year number in Japanese with Year (nen ねん / 年). For example: 2008 = nisen hachi nen  にせんはちねん / 二千八年.

This is how you ask which month it is of the year in Japanese:

 

Autumn-san: "なんがつですか?"  / "何月ですか?"

Autumn-san: "Nanygatsu desu ka?"

Autumn-san: "What month of the year is it?"

 

 

Dates/Days of the Month

 

The days of the month from 1st to 10th are listed in the table below:

 

 1st   ついたち / 一日 tsuitachi 
 
 2nd ふつか / 二日 futsuka 
 3rd みっか / 三日 mikka 
 4th よっか / 四日 yokka 
 5th いつか / 五日 itsuka 
 6th むいか / 六日 muika 
 7th なのか / 七日 nanoka 
 8th ようか / 八日 youka 
 9th ここのか / 九日 kokonoka 
 10th とうか / 十日 touka 

 

From 11th to 31st, the counter nichi (にち / 日) is used. For example, 11th = jyuuichi nichi (じゅういちにち / 十一日), 22nd = nijyuuni nichi (にじゅうににち / 二十二日), 31st = sanjyuuichi nichi (さんじゅういちにち / 三十一日).

 

TAKE NOTE that for 14th = jyuuyokka (じゅうよっか / 十四日), 20th = hatsuka (はつか / 二十日), 24th = nijyuuyokka (にじゅうよっか / 二十四日), 17th = jyuushichi (じゅうしち / 十七), 27th = nijyuushichi nichi (にじゅうしちにち / 二十七日)

 

 

This is how you ask which date it is of the month in Japanese:

 

Summer-san: "なんにちですか?"  / "何日ですか?"

Summer-san: "Nan nichi desu ka?"

Summer-san: "What day/date is it?"
