こんにちは,
Why is this considered wrong? Or is に just a short form of にち and not considered a seperate reading? I know it is にち and じつ, but I wanted to enter a different one for a change.
I am asking the question here, because I am just curious. It is not meant as criticism.
とにかく, I got another yet another no-brainer in my stack now. 
Thank you!
Are you perhaps confusing it with ひ? I don’t think there’s a case where it can be read as に.
ひ probably wouldn’t be accepted either (it would shake instead), because it’s the vocab reading.
How about in 日本? 
Ah ok, that one was originally read as にちぽん, but the ち slowly disappeared from it, first turning into a small tsu, then completely disappearing. (and the ぽん part changed to ほん). It’s pretty much an exception
Goo doesn’t list に as a reading:
(on’yomi: にち, じつ / kun’yomi: ひ, か)
Sometimes kanji will have special readings that are only used in one word, and those aren’t considered real readings for it. This is one such.
Ok thank you for the explanation.
Haha I was so frustrated about this that I will probably never forget!
