Japanese

Dates are written by placing the day counter <ruby>日niti</ruby> after the day of the month you would like to specify.
	Unfortunately, the day counter has by far the most irregularities of any counter.
	The 1st to the 10th, the 14th, the 17th, the 20th,
	the 24th and the 27th are all irregular.



	For regular dates, the date is simply the number followed by the day counter <ruby>日niti</ruby>.
	For example, the 15th is <ruby>十zyuu五go日niti</ruby>
	and the 31st is <ruby>三san十zyuu一iti日niti</ruby>.



	Note that the Xth day and X days are said in the same way in Japanese
	for all numbers other than one.

	The counter <ruby>年nen</ruby> can be used for counting years.
	Counting years is completely regular except when <ruby>年nen</ruby> is preceded by 四,
	in which case 四 is pronounced as よ.
	Below you can see the <ruby>年nen</ruby> counter used in an example sentence.
