1) go, 2) itsu(tsu) - five, the fifth

go - five
五月 go gatsu - May [the 5th month]
五ヶ月 go ka getsu - 5 months [note: So far we have seen that adding a number between 1-12 with 'gatsu' makes the month's names. But here is how to say a duration of months: # + ka + getsu - notice it is 'getsu' not 'gatsu']
