===== -- Year (Counter: 年, -nen) ===== | |||
This policy does not apply to the 年 (nen, year) counter, when being used as a date. For dates regarding specific calendar years, such as "2112年" meaning "the calendar year 2112", transcribe as "2112-nen" (spacing and capitalization policy of nen is subject to change). | |||
If 年 is being used to count the number of years as a counter object, ie 12年 as in "twelve years", transcribe in full: ''juuninen''. | |||
===== -- 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 months as a counter object, ie 12ヶ月 as in "twelve months", transcribe in full: ''juunikagetsu''. | |||
