Months of the Year
This follows the general number system, so you really can't go wrong. It uses the traditional numbers, so its 'shi' and 'shichi' not 'yon' and 'nana'.
January: Ichigatsu
February: Nigatsu
March: Sangatsu
April: Shigatsu
May: Gogatsu
June: Rokugatsu
July: Shichigatsu
August: Hachigatsu
September: Kugatsu
October: Juugatsu
November: Juuichigatsu
December: Juunigatsu
Traditional names of months (NOT WIDELY USED!!!)

Dates
The first 10 days of the month go to the basic counter system.
1st: Tsuitachi
2nd: Futsuka
3rd: Mikka
4th: Yokka
5th: Itsuka (homophone of 'sometime' or 'some day')
6th: Muika
7th: Nanoka
8th: Youka (make sure not to mix it up with yokka)
9th: Kokonoka
10th: Tooka
also, these dates are different from the normal:
14th: Juuyokka
20th: Hatsuka
24th: Nijuuyokka
for every other date, use the number + nichi.
example:
11th: Juuichinichi
12th: Juuninichi
21: Nijuuichinichi
30th: Sanjuunichi
When using 7 in a date, use 'shichi' instead of 'nana' and when using 9, use 'ku', instead of 'kyu'.
17th: Juushichinichi
29th: Nijuukunichi

chinotenshi And while I'm thinking of it, more fun is when you find a traditionally labeled calendar that doesn't use the modern day counting system of ichigatsu, nigatsu, etc. I ran into one of these at my host family's house. Traditional names of months ( NOT WIDELY USED!!!) January: 睦月 Mutsuki February: 如月 Kiraragi March: 弥生 Yayoi April: 卯月 Udzuki May: 皐月 Satsuki June: 水無月 Minadzuki July: 文月 Fumidzuki/Fudzuki August: 葉月 Hadzuki September: 長月 Nagatsuki October: 神無月 Kannadzuki November: 霜月 Shimotsuki December: 極月 Gokugetsu Fun, no? Shortly after I saw the calender at my host family's house with these names, my friends had a quiz on these names in their classical Japanese class. Coincidence?
My grandparents used to use those. |

origamiboxers Days of the Week
Monday: Getsuyoobi
Tuesday: Kayoobi
Wednesday: Suiyoobi
Thursday: Mokuyoobi
Friday: Kinyoobi
Saturday: Doyoobi
Sunday: Nichiyoobi
(will elaborate on the meanings of each day later) Moving on...
Steeple333 Interesting fact about days, is that the first kanji are different elements Nichiyoubi (Sunday) has "sun" as the first kanji. Getsuyoubi (Monday) has "moon" as the first kanji Kayoubi (Tuesday) has "fire" as the first kanji Suiyoubi (Wednesday) has "water" as the first kanji Mokuyoubi (Thursday) had "wood/tree" as the first kanji Kinyoubi (Friday) has "metal/gold" as the first kanji Douyoubi (Saturday) has "earth/ground" as the first kanji. Unfortunately, I don't have a program for Japanese characters. ;_; I hope this is useful for remembering the days of the week.
Sunday: 日曜日
Monday: 月曜日
Tuesday: 火曜日
Wednesday: 水曜日
Thursday: 木曜日
Friday: 金曜日
Saturday: 土曜日 |
