二日 (pronounced ふつか)


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/elizadeux

I do wish that they would add the hiragana for ふつか to the tiles so that we'd have the option of being able to select the correct pronunciation. It's easier to learn the kanji 二日 than to learn it's reading. We can type in the answer of course, but...

If we're talking about a span of time, shouldn't we use 間 (かん)?


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/gyJe7QcR

Apparently, 間 is optional for duration of days, except for the duration of 1 day, which is required to drop the 間.

I just hear "ka" twice. Is that ok?

futsuka (二日)Two days

kakari(かかり) Takes

I think you should hear 3

Is it normal to have the "ka" three times in a row? Would people really say this or would they phrase it in a different way to avoid the three "ka"s?


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/Houngawa

It's normal, they say that, they don't try to avoid it.

かかか is the way we represent we're laughing a lot here in Brazil. The more you laugh, the more "か" you add: kkkkkk.

Similar to hahaha XD

Why is there no 間 counter here?


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/TyrantRC

as far as I know is optional

2日【ふつか】2 days

2日間【ふつかかん】a period of 2 days

So is か a particle here? What other ways is it used?


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/Dane358388

Nevermind, it just hit me that かかります is just one word. か is not a particle.

The male voice pronounces ふつか very quietly, it sounds like he's saying "ska"


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/BodgedIt

Thought the audio was skipping there.

How about, "It will take two days"?


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/p7CH3

I take two days.


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/StarryChomps

Shouldn't this translate to "It WILL take two days?"
