Wanna Go to Moon [3 min JAPANESE #2 – Easy Learning]
Science Alert saidย that NASA announced new guidelines about moon trips and space development in May 2020.
Seems like this guidelines has the name “Artemis Accords”.
I’ve never known about “Artemis Accords”, but I’ve heard news concerning the moon flight once in a while in Japan.
A while ago, a famous business owner in Japan, really rich man , he said he is planning the moon flight for artists all over the world.
I wish I could join the moon flight someday!!
By the way, today’s 3 min JAPANESE is relating to moon (“tsuki” in Japanese).
Let’s learn how to say “days of the week” in Japanese today.
They derive from The name of solar system planet (ๅคช้ฝ็ณปใฎๆๆ / taiyoukei no wakusei).
Let’s start!
- Monday = ๆๆๆฅ (ใใคใใใณ / getsuyoubi)
It derives from Moon.
Moon is ๆ (ใคใ / tsuki) in Japanese.
But for Monday, the pronunciation of the kanji character “ๆ” is not (ใคใ / tsuki) but (ใใค/getsu). - Tuesday = ็ซๆๆฅ (ใใใใณ / kayoubi)
It derives from Mars.
Mars is ็ซๆ (ใใใ / kasei) in Japanese. - Wednesday = ๆฐดๆๆฅ (ใใใใใณ / suiyoubi)
It derives from Mercury.
Mercury is ๆฐดๆ (ใใใใ / suisei) in Japanese. - Thursday = ๆจๆๆฅ (ใใใใใณ / mokuyoubi)
It derives from Jupiter.
Jupiter is ๆจๆ (ใใใใ / mokusei) in Japanese. - Friday = ้ๆๆฅ (ใใใใใณ / kinyoubi)
It derives from Venus.
Venus is ้ๆ (ใใใใ / kinsei) in Japanese. - Saturday = ๅๆๆฅ (ใฉใใใณ / doyoubi)
It derives from Saturn.
Saturn is ๅๆ (ใฉใใ / dosei) in Japanese. - Sunday = ๆฅๆๆฅ (ใซใกใใใณ / nichiyoubi)
It derives from Sun.
Sun is ๅคช้ฝ (ใใใใ / taiyou) in Japanese.
The kanji character ๆฅ (ใซใก / nichi๏ผhas the meaning of sun too.
By the way, the kanji character “ๆ (ใใ / you)” has the meaning of the seven luminaries (Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, and Sun).
Also, the last kanji character “ๆฅ (ใณ / bi)” means “day” like “day of Monday” or “day of Tuesday”.
