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.

Days(ようび / 日 of the week

Days of the week in Japanese.

	Monday Getsuyoubi げつようび月曜日
	Tuesday Kayoubi かようび火曜日
	Wednesday Suiyoubi すいようび水曜日
	Thursday Mokuyoubi もくようび木曜日
	Friday Kinyoubi きんようび金曜日
	Saturday Doyoubi どようび土曜日
	Sunday Nichiyoubi にちようび日曜日

This is how you ask which day it is of the week in Japanese:

Winter-san: "なんようびですか？" / "何曜日ですか？"

Winter-san: "Nanyoubi desu ka?"

Winter-san: "What day of the week is it?"

Month of the year

Months of the year in Japanese.

	January Ichigatsu いちがつ一月
	February Nigatsu にがつ二月
	March Sangatsu さんがつ三月
	April Shigatsu しがつ四月
	May Gogatsu ごがつ五月
	June Rokugatsu ろくがつ六月
	July Shichigatsu しちがつ七月
	August Hachigatsu はちがつ八月
	September Kugatsu くがつ九月
	October Jyugatsu じゅがつ十月
	November Jyuichigatsu じゅいちがつ十一月
	December Jyunigatsu じゅにがつ十二月

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?"
