3週間前さんしゅうかんまえ or 3週前さんしゅうまえ and 3年間前さんねんかんまえ and 3年前さんねんまえ：Which Are Correct?

What is the difference between “3週間前さんしゅうかんまえ(san-shuu-kan-mae) or 3週前さんしゅうまえ(san-shuu-mae) and 3年間前さんねんかんまえ(san-nen-kan-mae) or 3年前さんねんまえ(san-nen-mae)”? Which are correctly used? Which is used as “a nagative meaning”? After reading this, you would be answering this question. Let me introduce what their subtle differences are and how you correctly use them such as native speakers today!

[wp-svg-icons icon=”arrow-right-2″ wrap=”span”] 3 weeks ago / 3周前 / 3주 전 / 3 tuần trước

“3週間前さんしゅうかんまえ” is correct which means “3 weeks ago” and we don’t normally use “3週前さんしゅうまえ” which is unnatural. The basic way to use it is “私わたしは3週間前さんしゅうかんまえに___をした。(I ___ 3 weeks ago.)”, etc. For instance, “私わたしは3週間前さんしゅうかんまえにテニスをした。(I played tennis 3 weeks ago.)”, “私わたしは3週間前さんしゅうかんまえに友達ともだちとテニスをした。(I played tennis with my friends 3 weeks ago.)”, “私わたしは3週間前さんしゅうかんまえに本ほんを読よんだ。(I read a book 3 weeks ago.)”, etc. Again, you won’t be able to use “3週前さんしゅうまえ” such as “私わたしは3週前さんしゅうまえに本ほんを読よんだ。” which is wrong. Everyone could use “3週間前さんしゅうかんまえ” as casual, polite and formal such as “3週間前さんしゅうかんまえにテニスをしたよ。(I played tennis 3 weeks ago.)” as casual and “3週間前さんしゅうかんまえにテニスをしました。(I played tennis 3 weeks ago.)” as polite and formal. Additionally, “1週間前いっしゅうかんまえ” is correct, “1週前いっしゅうしゅうまえ” is wrong and “2週間前にしゅうかんまえ” is correct, “2週前にしゅうしゅうまえ” is wrong and “1カ月前いっかげつまえ” is correct, “1月前いちがつまえ” is wrong and “2カ月前にかげつまえ” is correct, “2月前にがつまえ” is wrong.

[wp-svg-icons icon=”checkmark-circle” wrap=”i”] 3年間前さんねんかんまえ and 3年前さんねんまえ

[wp-svg-icons icon=”arrow-right-2″ wrap=”span”] 3 years ago / 3年前 / 3년 전 / 3 năm trước

“3年前さんねんまえ” is correct which means “3 years ago” and we don’t normally use “3年間前さんねんかんまえ” which is unnatural. The basic way to use it is “私わたしは3年前さんねんまえに___をした。(I ___ 3 weeks ago.)”, etc. For instance, “私わたしは3年前さんねんまえに海外旅行かいがいりょこうをした。(I traveled abroad 3 weeks ago.)”, “私わたしは3年前さんねんまえに友達ともだちと海外旅行かいがいりょこうをした。(I traveled abroad with my friends 3 years ago.)”, “私わたしは3年前さんねんまえにタバコを辞やめた。(I quit smoking 3 years ago.)”, etc. The tips for using it that “3週間前さんしゅうかんまえ” is correct, however, “3年間前さんねんかんまえ” is wrong that might have made you confused. So you won’t be able to use “私わたしはruby>3年間前さんねんかんまえに海外旅行かいがいりょこうをした。” which is wrong. Everyone could use “3年前さんねんまえ” as casual, polite and formal such as “3年前さんねんまえに海外旅行かいがいりょこうをしたよ。(I traveled abroad 3 weeks ago.)” as casual and “3年前さんねんまえに海外旅行かいがいりょこうをしました。(I traveled abroad 3 weeks ago.)” as polite and formal. Additionally, “1年前いちねんまえ” is correct, “1年間前いちねんかんまえ” is wrong and “2年前にねんまえ” is correct, “1年間前いちねんかんまえ” is wrong and “2日前ふつかまえ” is correct, “2日間前ふつかかんまえ” is wrong and “3日前みっかまえ” is correct, “3日間前みっかかんまえ” is wrong. Lastly, although you would say “1日前いちにちまえ“, “昨日きのう” is better like “one day ago(1日前いちにちまえ)” or “昨日きのう(yesterday)”.
