Japanese is so difficult, even for me.
However, I think the words for year-end and New Year are so easy to remember because of their sounds.
Most of the words rhyme superbly and elegantly: toshikoshi, shinnnen and sanganichi.
1, Toshikoshi
Toshi - year
koshi - across
Wait for the midnight at New Year's Eve to celebrate New Year.
2, Shin-nen
Shin - New
Nen - Year
Yes, "New Year!"
3, Sanganichi
San - three
Nichi - day
The first three days of the New Year.
We usually have days off these days except clerks of supermarkets and clothing shops; most companies in Japan don't work in this period.
Toshikoshi,shinnen,sanganichi!
See? It's easy!
