2017年12月7日 · 日 is simply a counter-like suffix that follows a day of a month, just as 月 is the suffix for months and 年 is the suffix for years. 日 also means Sunday, but it does not directly follow a number. If you see something like "12月10日 (日)", the second 日 …

2016年2月16日 · @istrasci, fosskers -- 今日{きょう} comes from older reading けふ. By one theory, け is an alternative form of こ "this", much as in 今朝{けさ}. Meanwhile, ふ may be an alternative form of 日{ひ}, much as in 昨日{きのう}, ancient form きのふ (where き refers to the past, の is regular の, and ふ is again 日).

I am not sure about the pronunciation rules of kanji in Japanese.

2017年12月13日 · Those are how the NHK announcers pronounce 「19日」 and 「29日」, respectively, as well. I am honestly perplexed to hear that your dictionry gives 「 にじゅうきゅうにち 」 as an option. Both 「じゅうきゅうにち」 and 「 にじゅうきゅうにち 」 sound quite substandard to me.
