    This document outlines Japanese terms for days of the week, days and months of the year, and units of time including hours and minutes. Days of the week are formed by combining a root word with "yōbi" while days of the month use the cardinal number and "nichi." Months as points in time use the cardinal number and "gatsu" while as durations use the number and "kagetsu." Years are expressed with the number and "nen." Hours can be told as points in time with the number and "ji" or in duration with the number and "jikan." Minutes can be the number plus "fun" or have specific exceptions.
