How to Say ‘It's five days' worth.’ in Japanese

五日分です。

itsu ka bun desu

[ee-TSOO kah boon dess]

💬 Usage Tip: 五日 is said (itsuka), a special reading, not (go-nichi). Adding 分 (bun) after an amount turns it into "that much's worth", like 三日分 (mikka-bun) "three days' worth".

“I hop cities every few months and this is the only app that actually prepares me for living somewhere, not just visiting. Tokyo was the real test — passed with flying colors.”

James O., 28, Remote Worker
