What's the difference between日てい and 日付?

#9 Posted by emytchan over 2 years ago

on most common pronounciation: There are more common words with Nichi. hi/bi is second, and jitsu is third. To say 'Sun' as a noun, use Nichi. 

 

For example, Nichiyoubi (Sunday). It loks like this: 日曜日. The first 日 is 'Nichi'. the second '日' is Day. Sunday. So, to say sun as a noun, use nichi. :)
