==== Specific Cases and Exceptions ==== | |||
The following exceptions list is by no means complete. | |||
===== Day (Counter: 日, -nichi) ===== | |||
This policy does not apply to the 日 (nichi, day) counter, when being used as a date. For days, such as "12日", transcribe as "12 Nichi" (spacing and capitalization policy of nen is subject to change). | |||
If 日 is being used to count the number of days as a counter object, ie 12日 as in "twelve days", transcribe in full: juuninichi. | |||
===== Month (Counter: 月, -gatsu) ===== | |||
The 12 months of the year are considered dictionary terms. Similar to how the months in English are named January through December, the Japanese months are named 一月/1月 through 十二月/12月. When used to refer to the month, transcribe in full, such as ichigatsu and juunigatsu. | |||
If 月 is being used to count the number of days as a counter object, ie 12月 and 12ヶ月 as in "twelve months", transcribe in full: hitotsuki and juunikagetsu. | |||
===== Year (Counter: 年, -nen) ===== | |||
This policy does not apply to the 年 (nen, year) counter, when being used as a date. For years, such as "2112年", transcribe as "2112 Nen" (spacing and capitalization policy of nen is subject to change). | |||
If 年 is being used to count the number of days as a counter object, ie 12年 as in "twelve years", transcribe in full: juuninen. | |||
