Fourth Day
Day Four, Four Days
noun
Fourth day or day four. No matter how you look at this combination of kanji, the meaning of the word makes a lot of sense!
よっか
This is a jukugo word, which usually means on'yomi readings from the kanji. Counting days, however, is an exception (at least up to ten). You need to use the kun'yomi readings to read this word. You already know the kun'yomi reading for 四, so that's fine (the ん gets turned into a small っ, though). Think of it this way:
On the fourth day you pour yogurt (よっ) all over your car (か) because on the fifth day you're going to have to eat (いつ) it. (五's kun'yomi reading is いつ).
