Meaning

Primary

May

Word Type

noun

Explanation

The moon kanji also represents a month, so when you have five of these months, what month of the year is it? That would be May, the greatest month of the year (because it has towel day in it!).

Reading

ごがつ

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. Also, this is a specific month, so it uses the がつ reading.

Context
