Japanese Culture and History Trivia Quiz (1–10)
The early bird gets the worm—how many yen is three mon (sanmon)?
- 90 yen
- 300 yen
- 500 yen
See the answer
answer
90 yen
It’s used to mean that getting up early is very advantageous, but in reality, at today’s value it would be about 90 yen. Just as in phrases like “a three-mon actor” or “a three-mon novel,” the term sanmon isn’t used to indicate much value, so there’s also a theory that the original meaning was “even if you get up early, it’s not all that beneficial.”

What is one of the reasons why NHK does not use the term “Golden Week”?
- Because it often takes more than a week
- Because it is trademarked.
- Because it’s Japlish
See the answer
Because it often takes more than a week
One reason given is that despite being called a “week,” it often becomes a break of more than a week when the weekend is included, so the term isn’t used. Other reasons cited include consideration for those who continue working without taking time off, and efforts to avoid using loanwords as much as possible. Incidentally, instead of “Golden Week,” the term “large consecutive holidays” is often used.
From what era have words like “maji” and “yabai” been used?
