When it’s late my brain starts mixing up languages. What’s the reading of 17時? That’s dix-sept ji, obviously

in early march 2020 i catched "the flu" which probably was covid and the night i had the most severe fever i started hallucinating(/dreaming?) about reading kanji in french cause i was worried i was going to miss my french and japanese classes the next day

The fucked up thing is technically speaking, Japanese does allow you to read kanji with a French pronunciation (or any non-Japanese pronunciation you want) - but you still have to connect it all together with Japanese grammar. In other words, you can end up with truly fucked sentences like:

時代Le tempsとは人間l'homme偉大grand芸術artである。

Reblogging this solely to demonstrate how ahead of the curve I was when it came to combining furigana and French.

Hello! I think the majority of people pronounce it jûshichi-ji (じゅうしちじ), but some people pronounce it jûnana-ji (じゅうななじ). In announcements where you don't want people to mishear, jûnana-ji is sometimes used to avoid confusion with 11時 (jûichi-ji, じゅういちじ). However, most people don't care which one is used.
