Tenth Day
Ten Days, Day Ten
noun
Tenth day or day ten. No matter how you look at this word, it makes a lot of sense.
とおか
Words that count days use an exceptional reading. Even though this is a jukugo word, it uses kun'yomi readings for both the kanji. Think about this word this way:
On the tenth day, they'll tow your car (とおか). They'll let it sit there for ten days, but any more than that and they'll tow it, so watch out.
このくすりを、十日かんのんでください。
Please take this medicine for ten days.
十日でかんせいさせてください。
Please complete it within ten days.
七月十日はそふのめい日です。
