質問: can someone help me understand why 五 (ご) in 五日 (いつか) is pronounced "い" instead of the "ご " reading i see everywhere else? why isn't it "ごつか"? this is one example of my struggle to figure out the readings of kanji because i cannot seem to find a consistency with the kanji pronounciations. for every word, it seems like the same kanji is pronounced differently and i need help getting a sense of pattern down for reading pronounciations. i would really appreciate an explanation! 😁 can someone help me understand why 五 (ご) in 五日 (いつか) is pronounced "い" instead of the "ご " reading i see everywhere else? why isn't it "ごつか"? this is one example of my struggle to figure out the readings of kanji because i cannot seem to find a consistency with the kanji pronounciations. for every word, it seems like the same kanji is pronounced differently and i need help getting a sense of pattern down for reading pronounciations. i would really appreciate an explanation! 😁
回答: @xunahmad no problem. you can use this https://youtu.be/b5rlhfhirje to help you memorise the days. i know it's a little weird, i thought so too when my japanese teacher showed me this but then afterwards it became catchy and now i essentially remember this song all the time lol
