Beautiful Japanese Word of the Day #21
There are countless beautiful words in the Japanese language describing the beauty of seasons and nature. Through this series, we hope to share some of that with more people who are studying the Japanese language. Today's word is...
天泣 [Tenkyuu]
"Tenkyuu refers to rain that falls from a cloudless sky. Also can be called a sun shower"
天 [Ten] means heaven or sky
泣 [Naku/Kyuu] means to cry
Writer's note: Where I've lived hardly rained so I never really had an experience with sun showers but I could imagine it being beautiful and would love to see it one day.
