Question to Teacher: Which is correct? ni juu SHICHI nichi or ni juu NANA nichi?
Course 1 Lesson 9: New Year's Day (About This Lesson)

I don't know if this is a mistake or not, but in Course 1, Lesson 9, Q&A #4, the 27th of the month is called nijuuNANAnichi. This, I found out, was different than the word used for the 27th of the month in chapter eight (nijuushichinichi). I was just wondering about it whether it was correct.

Both NI JUU SHICHI NICHI and NI JUU NANA NICHI are correct.
My personal preference is SHICHI but you will hear both in Japan.

What you won't hear is SHICHI JUU since that must be NANA JUU.

I hope this helps.
