Day 14: February 5, 2015

Today, we reviewed Japanese greetings again. We also reviewed the Japanese number system. For example, in Japanese 12 would be 10 and 2. 4 and 9 are special cases in regards to time. Shiji, 4 o'clock is formal and is usually not used in everyday life. Yonji is how 4 o'clock is said. For 9, however, the only way to say 9 o'clock is said as kuji.  When using am and pm, gozen and gogo respectively, they go before the number. So, for example, 9 o'clock pm is "gogo kuji." To indicate the half-hour, we say, for example, "nanajihan," with han meaning half. I'm still anticipating the learning of katakana. Perhaps I might study it myself and get ahead!
