Meaning

Primary

Sixth Day

Alternatives

Day Six, Six Days

Word Type

noun

Explanation

It's the kanji for six and day. Put them together and you have the sixth day (or day six).

Reading

むいか

Explanation

This is a jukugo word, which usually means on'yomi readings from the kanji. This is an exception, though. When you're counting days (at least one through ten), the kun'yomi readings are used. So let's think about that sixth day - what does it entail?

The cow (moo / むい) is standing on top of your car (か). Why? Because you only feed the cow once a week, and that is on the seventh day. He's standing there on the sixth day because he's super hungry and knows it's almost time.

Context
