Weekdays

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

Planning

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

Study habit

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

Practice notes

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.
