Collocations

Mnemonic

Raigetsu (来月) is the Sino-Japanese noun "next month" — 来 (coming / next) + 月 (month). The "time-unit × position" matrix forms a tidy cluster: sengetsu (last month), kongetsu (this month), raigetsu (next month), saraigetsu (month after next). Week-level: senshuu, konshuu, raishuu, saraishuu. Year-level: kyonen, kotoshi, rainen, sarainen. The 先 / 今 / 来 / 再来 roots multiplied by week / month / year give 16 high-yield words — chart them together for efficient learning. Korean "ji-nan dal / i-beon dal / da-eum dal / dada-eum dal" maps the same, but Japanese Sino roots are more uniformly consistent.
