Meaning

Primary

Five Things

Word Type

numeral

Explanation

From previous number+つ words, you can probably guess that this word means five things.

Reading

いつつ

Explanation

The reading of this word is the kun'yomi reading of the kanji 五, meaning you didn't learn it when you learned the parent kanji reading. To remember this word, think of it this way:

You have five things. What do you have to do with them? You need to eat (いつ) them. If you come up with something crazy you have to eat, and focus on the fact that you must eat five of these things, it will help a lot too.

Context

Context Sentences
