How to Say ‘The 2nd (of the month)’ in Japanese
二日
futsu ka
[foo-TSOO kah]
💬 Usage Tip: Said (futsuka). Dates 2 through 10 use old Japanese number words, not the usual (ni), (san), and so on.
🇯🇵 In Japan: 二日 also means "two days" as a length of time, so 二日 can be either "the 2nd" or "for two days" depending on context.
