Meaning

Primary

AD

Alternatives

Anno Domini, Common Era

Word Type

noun

Explanation

What does the narrative origin have coming after it? Well, the way we've counted years for the past couple of millenia has a specific narrative at its origin, and everything that comes after it is AD, or anno Domini. You know which narrative we're talking about, right?

(Just in case you don't: it's the narrative of Jesus's birth, which is the year that we start calling dates A.D.)

Reading

きげんご

Explanation

This is a jukugo word, which usually means on'yomi readings from the kanji. If you know the readings of your kanji you'll know how to read this as well.
