Example Word

二十日: twentieth or twenty days. The Japanese noun '二十日 (はつか)' has two distinct meanings. First, it can refer to the 20th day of the month, as in 'today is the 20th'「今日は二十日です」(きょうははつかです). Second, it can mean a period of 20 days, as in 'I will be away for 20 days'「二十日間留守にします」(はつかかんるすにします). The reading 'はつか' is specific to this word and should not be confused with other readings of the kanji 二十 (にじゅう) meaning 'twenty'. This word is commonly used in dates and time-related expressions.
