おはよう,
In lesson 11 of minna no nihongo:
Counting is always done in wago. It seems when I look online, kango is used for nearly all the example counters in minna no nihongo. Is it just more “conservative”? Should I just learn both? Minna no nihongo teaches no kango for now.
年 is used for counting years, even in duration. I notice 年間is more common. Is there any subtle difference?
Counting is always done in wago. It seems when I look online, kango is used for nearly all the example counters in minna no nihongo. Is minna no nihongo just more “conservative”? Should I just learn both or use kango primarily? It seems most online sources say kango is preferred nowadays. Minna no nihongo teaches no kango for now.
By the way, 年 is used for counting years, even in duration, in minna no nihongo. I notice 年間 is more common. Is there any subtle difference?
お願いします!
