Lesson 6 Notes :
Yu also means moon.
Yu / month
Tin and r are synonyms meaning day. R tends to be used more often in written forms while tin is
more commonly used in the spoken form. As a result, you may see jnr written in place of jntin .
Tin / day
r / sun / day
R / day
tin / day
jnr / today
jntin / today
When reading Chinese dates, you always go from biggest to smallest. So where applicable, we start
with the year first, then month, then day.
