Hi All,

Does anyone have any good advice or suggested grammar reading to understand and easily remember the proper readings of 中? I have constant trouble mistaking ”じゅう” readings from ”ちゅう” readings (for words like 一晩中，今日中，営業中 etc). Thanks!


K.

<noun>じゅう -> throughout ~
<する verb>ちゅう -> presently ~ing, in the process of ~ing
<number1><counter>ちゅう, <number2> -> ~2 out of ~1

Usually only one of the above interpretations will make sense given the context.
