Tsuki

I like to see 'tsuki' (月).

'Tsuki' (月) means "moon," and there are several theories about its etymology.

One theory says that it comes from the term 'tsugi' (次ぎ), which means "next," because the moon is bright next to the sun.

Another theory says that it comes from 'tsuki/tsuki-ru' (尽き/尽きる), which means "run out," because the brightness of the moon runs out once a month.

Incidentally, it was announced that the game "Moon" for PlayStation released in 1997 will be distributed on Switch next month, then it has become a hot topic in Japan.


私は「月」を見るのが好きです。

「月」は "moon" を意味する単語で、語源は諸説あります。

ある説では、月は太陽の次に明るく輝くことから "next" を意味する「次ぎ」に由来するとしています。

またある説では、月に一度その輝きが尽きることから、"run out" を意味する「尽き(る)」に由来するとしています。

ちなみに先日、1997年発売のプレイステーション用のゲーム「Moon」がSwitchで配信されることが発表され、話題になりました。

     Do you mean the moon is bright because of the sun's light?

Those are some interesting theories. I like the 次 one the most.

Thank you for the correction!
> Do you mean the moon is bright because of the sun's light?
Sorry, I wanted to mean that the brightness of the moon is the second largest (the brightest one is the sun).

Ah, I see.
"because the moon is second only to the sun in brightness."
I know this sentence is a bit complicated, but I think it sounds the best.
