What?! Help with 何日 vs 何月 vs 何年

[menno]

Yeah I feel that as well

Time indicators - I'm struggling

Is there any pattern here? I keep getting these wrong 先月 - Last month 先日 - The other day, a few days ago 先年 - Last year (?) 先週 - Last week 昨日 - Yesterday (Huh, why not 先日) 年次 - Annual 来日 - Coming to Japan (?) 来週 - Next week 来月 - Next month 来年 - Next year 年来 - For some years 近日 - Soon (forward in time) 近年 - Recent years (backward in time - why?)
