Counting number of days

We have grouped a small set of 13 JLPT N5 Japanese Kotoba to give example of counting number of days. Except counting for 1 day, others are similar to "Day of a Month"

Note: You must know Hiragana, Katakana and Kanji to learn them.

This is an easy milestone to cross because we just have to add Nichi Kanji (日) to Numbers.

List of JLPT N5 words that are used for counting number of days

Kanji	Kana	Romaji	Meaning
一日	いちにち	Ichinichi	1 Day
二日	ふつか	Futsuka	2 Days
三日	みっか	Mikka	3 Days
四日	よっか	Yokka	4 Days
五日	いつか	Itsuka	5 Days
六日	むいか	Muika	6 Days
七日	なのか	Nanoka	7 Days
八日	ようか	Youka	8 Days
九日	ここのか	Kokonoka	9 Days
十日	とおか	Tooka	10 Days
十一日	じゅういちにち	Juuichi Nichi	11 Days
十二日	じゅうににち	Juuni Nichi	12 Days
二十日	はつか	Hatsuka	20 Days

and so on

From 11 days onwards we say 11 in Japanese and "nichi" for day
11 in Japanese is "Juu ichi" and day in Japanese is "nichi"
So 11 days is Juu ichi + nichi = Juu ichi nichi

Exception is for 20 days
20 days is called "Hatsuka"

From 21 onwards, same formula like 11 onwards
For example 21 days is twenty + one + days = ni jyu + ichi + nichi
and so on

Now you have completed learning them. Congrats. This is a "small success" and a step ahead to completing all JLPT Level N5 Vocabulary.
