Notes:
| ①々 is a repetition kanji or “ideographic iteration mark“, it means that the kanji just before should be repeated. The pronunciation changes according to the kanji being repeated, but a lot of the time, the second kanji will be pronounced like the first one, but with a dakuten (hi->bi, to->do, ha->ba). It often makes a word mean “more than one of that thing”. Here’s some examples: 日々(ひび）: days, or every day 人々(ひとびと): people 色々(いろいろ): various 散々(さんざん): severe 昔々(むかしむかし): a long, long time ago 時々(ときどき): occasionally 早々(はやばや): very early ②ヶ is read as か, it’s used to count months. |
