Days of the Month

Having knowledge of the basic counting in Japanese is a must with this one. I already discussed that on Lesson 2.

The days of the month are followed by nichi after the number. For example, 11th day of the month is juu-ichi-nichi (juu is 10 + ichi is 1 + nichi is date)

That is a little bit easy, isn't it? However, days such as first to tenth, fourth, forteenth, twentieth, and twenty-fourth are little complicated. Let's see.
