Tips

register

四日 is the formal/written form for 'the 4th'. In speech, Chinese speakers say 四号 (sì hào). 四日 turns up most often in formal dates, news headlines, and historical references — and in Japanese place names like 四日市 (Yokkaichi), where the 'day' compound was preserved from classical Chinese.
