Meaning

Primary

Year Round

Alternatives

All Year, Whole Year, Throughout The Year

Word Type

adverb, noun

Explanation

The year middle sounds like it should be something like "the middle of the year," but it's not. Think of something that happens in the middle of the year and then all other parts of the year. It's just referring to everything within this year, which is how we get year round.

Reading

ねんじゅう

Explanation

This is a jukugo word, which usually means on'yomi readings for the kanji. If you know the readings of your kanji you'll know how to read this as well. 中 does have a strange reading, though, which is じゅう. This is basically just ちゅう changing to ぢゅう, but since ぢ is very rare it just switches to じ and you end up with じゅう. That's called rendaku.

Context
