Meaning

Primary

Eighth Day

Alternatives

Eight Days, Day Eight

Word Type

noun

Explanation

Eighth day or day eight. No matter how you look at this word, it makes a lot of sense.

Reading

ようか

Explanation

Words that count days use an exceptional reading. Even though this is a jukugo word, it uses kun'yomi readings for both the kanji. Think about this word this way:

Every eighth day you have to buy yogurt to fuel your car (ようか). Your car runs on yogurt, but it needs to be refilled every eight days to keep running. It's really inconvenient because it's just ONE day more than a week. And a week just feels better. Oh well.
