Clephas Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Akatsuki means 'daybreak' whereas 'Akaitsuki' means 'red moon'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Okami Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Moon is normal here. And I just watch anime in witch red moon was used to summoned 7 dragons . Akatsuki means 'daybreak' whereas 'Akaitsuki' means 'red moon'. Shouldn't there be a space in between "Akai Tsuki"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clephas Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 No spacing in Japanese language, except after commas, periods, etc. However, if that were an actual sentence, the answer would be yes in romaji, since romaji needs regular breaks for westerners to understand it (in Japanese, when a color adjective and its described word are connected without a particle, they are literally considered one word). Edit: aka no tsuki would also work. Also, akatsuki does work, apparently... it just uses the archaic kanji and isn't present in modern language (in modern language akatsuki generally means 'daybreak' or is used to mark the beginning of the event... otherwise it is an archaic - as in not a part of the common language in the last fifty years - term) Edit2: Modern Japanese grammar demands a particle when 'aka' is used before a word, whereas archaic Japanese - Taisho, Meiji, Edo era - tended to be a bit looser about that.

I did manage to see it this morning but due to the lighting of my neighborhood it wasn't quite as red as I was expecting. I'll post some pictures once I take them off my camera.
