About this week vocabulary list
Days of the week, weekday/weekend, this/last/next week, and week-counter words. This page covers the 19 most useful entries for daily conversation and JLPT preparation. Each row shows the full kanji form, the hiragana reading, the romaji pronunciation, and the English meaning so you can read the row out loud in whichever script you are most comfortable with. The JLPT tag column flags which level the word is officially tested at — most entries are N5 or N4.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many week words are on this list?
This page lists 19 week words in Japanese with kanji, hiragana, romaji, and English. Each row is everyday vocabulary you would meet in textbook study or normal conversation — no archaic or specialist terms.
What JLPT level are these week words?
Most entries are JLPT N5 and N4 — the foundation vocabulary for the first 6–12 months of Japanese study. Each row that maps to a specific JLPT level shows a coloured pill. Words without a pill are common everyday terms outside the JLPT-tested set.
How do I copy this week vocabulary list to Anki?
Click "Copy All" at the top of the table to copy the entire list as tab-separated values (kanji, hiragana, romaji, English). Open Anki, choose Import, paste the contents into a text file or directly into a new deck, and Anki will create one card per row. The same export works for Quizlet, Google Sheets, and Excel.
How should I memorise week words quickly?
Read the whole list out loud once — kanji, hiragana, English. Cover the romaji column and test recall on the second pass. Build one short sentence per word ("私のweek は…") and the words stick within three repeated sessions. For spaced repetition, export the list to the linked Japanese Flashcards tool.
Can I print this week vocabulary list?
Yes. Click the Print button at the top of the table for a print-friendly view, or use your browser's print menu directly. Each row stays on a single line and the table fits standard A4 / Letter pages in portrait mode without further formatting.
