Meaning

Primary

Amount Of Time

Alternatives

Interval Of Time, Time Interval, Period Of Time

Word Type

noun, suffix

Explanation

When you stick this onto the end of another word that talks about an interval of time in some way, you're indicating the amount of time that has gone past. For example, 二年間 is "two years." 一時間 is "one hour." Any amount of time + 〜間 will make it an "amount of time" instead of just a specific time.

Reading

かん

Explanation

The reading is the same as what you learned with the kanji. This should save you at least 二分間.

Context

The test involved having to hold my breath for fixed intervals of time. The most difficult one was for 3 hours, but I did it.
