十歳，じゅっさいか。じっさいか。
It is always confusing when finding different pronunciation of same words in a language. It happened again recently while I encountered the word 十歳. It is written じゅっさい in one of my textbook and じっさい in another... Could someone please explain why this difference and which one is more generally used? Thank you for your reply! :)to aoitory: 謝謝你的回應！只是じゅっさい應該並沒錯，因為我課本裡正是教促音的發音(同樣如三十歲也是寫成さんじゅっさい)，日文輸入法打じゅっさい也是出現十歳。所以才想知道哪種用法比較常見，而這樣的區別究竟是不同地方的念法不同呢？還是不同場合的說法不同？

Answer

Hi :)
the pronunciations are both commonly said and not dialects.
for my explain,  "じっさい" could sound bit old fashioned. I think we hear that elderly ppl often say "じっさい".
 I'm go with  "じゅっさい". I still remember my sister (in early 30's) said "じっさい", whose used to work at the house for the elderly.

Answer

嗯，不好意思，又去查了一下資料，的確現在也存在 じゅっさい 的念法，這種狀況有點像中文里的新造詞彙的情況，是每種語言發展中都會遇到的情況，日本國內對於這樣語言混亂的情況也是比較有爭議的，可以說 じっさい 和 じゅうさい 是绝对正确的，也普遍使用的，现在比较可信的说法是 十歳 读作 じっさい ，而 10歳 则读作 じゅっさい，大多数普通人采取的是按习惯上来念的态度，希望有帮到你~
