DATES
1st- tsuitachi
2nd-futsuka
3rd-mikka
4th-yokka
5th-itsuka
6th-muika
7th-nanoka
8th-youka
9th-kokonoka
10th-tooka
14th-juuyokka
20th-hatsuka

Irregulars
14th-juuyoka
20th-hatsuka
24th-nijuuyokka


Dates are a fairly easy thing to memorize in japanese, seeings as how you only have memorize 31, and even less if you think about it. The 1st through 10th have their own translations, but after that there are only a few irregulars. For 11-19, you would put 'ju' then the second number (i.e. for 23rd you would put 'san'), and then nichi, which essentially means day. So, it would come out 'ju-san-nichi'; or, in engrish speak, 'the twenty-third day'.

Ex.
11th-ju-ichi-nichi
16th-ju-roku-nichi
21st-ni-ju-ichi-nichi
27th-ni-ju-nana-nichi

Here's a link where you can click on the words and hear them pronounced.

http://japanese.about.com/bl_dates.htm

I'll double whatever prize Fluffy has (if it's a Gaia thing o.O) if somebody can find the Japanese translation for "who", "what", "when", "where", "why", "which", and "how". PM me with the source and you'll get something cool...after I sell my tickets. o.o No crappy websites where you type in the word and it translates it for you either...don't trust those. <.<

P.S. Are we going to learn this tommorow? o.O If we are I can get you months and years maybe.

Ju-go-nichi is the fifteenth, you're a bit off. Oh, and the prize (now that I've decided) may not be something on gaia if the person doesn't get on much. *coughs* almost everybody *cough, hack, wheeeeze* X.x

Yeah, make sure you don't send Travis any of the new stuff I'm finding. I'm trying to force him to make a Gaia by cutting him off on the Japanese packets. And you still didn't answer my question about tomorrow. stare

It's okay, but go ahead and erase the post because I was hoping for the other members to answer after today's lesson. Yes, we are learning the dates, and yes, it would be nice if you could add some extra material. (It might even force Travis to come)

Ok, I'll bring some stuff with me. Didn't see years on the website I was using (don't want to use a different one because I don't have time to cross-reference right now), but I got months, days of the week, and seasons. biggrin Also, having the prize as a Gaia item might make people want to be on more...or something...besides, if they answer the question, they must be on Gaia. o.O

According to the poll nobody checks the lessons. o.o My vote doesn't count. <.<
