Hi! My teachers at university used to prenounce毎月 as まいつき instead of まいげつ。Is there any nuance in meaning?
Both are right, but まいつき is more often used, so I changed it to まいつき
very interesting history, i am loving this website very much! 😀
Ty!
Glad to hear that😊😊
Why does google translate “every 3 days” as さんびごと (i think) and not みっかごと?which is often used?
さんび is never used.
I see, thank you!
