📚

Practice Japanese days of the week. Each day is named after a celestial body or element: Sun, Moon, Fire, Water, Wood, Metal, and Earth.

⭐

Knowing the days of the week is fundamental for daily life, from making appointments to understanding business hours.

🎯

Use this quiz to practice converting days of the week into their Japanese readings. All days end with "youbi" (曜日).

💡

• Link each day to its element: Monday is Moon, Tuesday is Fire, Wednesday is Water, Thursday is Wood, Friday is Metal/Gold, Saturday is Earth, and Sunday is Sun.
• The suffix "youbi" is the same for all days, so you only need to remember the first kanji.
• Say the full day out loud as you type to reinforce your memory.

📅

[Element] + youbi (曜日)

Moon + youbi = Getsuyoubi (Monday)
