Quick Question: How do you pronounce this Kanji? - 04-18-2011, 01:30 AM

How do you pronounce: 子供の頃?
Is it こどものころ  or こどものごろ?
It means childhood or the time period when I was a child, right?

Pronounced こどものころ and you've got the meaning part.

However, better writers DO NOT write the word in kanji. They write it either こども or 子ども. You will not see 子供 in newspapers and better magazines.
Dang, I've said this 8-9 times on here already.


Your Japanese proficiency shall be in direct proportion
to your true interest in the Japanese Mind.
