Japanese pitch accent (something I’ve written about before) is tricky because each word has a different combination of up and down pitches, and sometimes the accent of one word can affect a word immediately after it. To make things even more complicated, different regional dialects of Japanese have very different patterns of accents – for example Kyoto accent is often opposite to the standard Tokyo accent. (See the featured image for a detailed breakdown of different accent types.

For these reasons, as a beginner or even intermediate student it’s easy to glaze over this topic, and in fact many of the textbooks I’ve looked at either deemphasize it or ignore it completely. To a certain extent, I agree that having a student try to memorize the correct pattern of pitches for every single word is a pretty daunting task, and certain things like proper grammar are more important, at least initially. Ultimately, if you are going to have any change of matching native pitches you’ll have to speak Japanese on a day-to-day basis for months if not years.

But regardless of your level, I think it’s good to be aware of the basic patterns of Japanese intonation. For some the basics, you can check out the post I just referred to above (here).

In this article I wanted to discuss something I accidentally discovered when listening to a podcast sometime back, and then I later researched and confirmed it is a common occurrence.

What I noticed was that often the pitch of a set of words changed when used in a compound word (複合語, ふくごうご).

Let’s start with the word for photograph, which is 写真（しゃしん）, and the word for blue, which is 青（あお）. These words have the following pitch accents:  (H = high pitch, L = low pitch)

• しゃしん　       （写真）
• L      H H  (H)
• あお　               （青）
• H  L

[Note: I’ve written the final “(H)” in しゃしん to indicate the pitch stays up for the following word]

So  しゃしん rises on the second syllable, while あお falls on the same syllable.

Now let’s look at the word for ‘blueprint’, which is a compound of these two words (青写真）

• あおじゃしん　 （青写真）
• L H  H     L  L

If you compare this with the above words, you’ll see the pitches have totally reversed. あお is now rising instead of falling, and しゃしん (pronounced じゃしん in this compound) is now falling!

This is a bit confusing at first but the reason I am introducing it is because the pattern is actually quite common. Here are the rules for what tends to happen in compound words:

1) The first word in the compound changes so that it’s pitch rises on the second syllable, regardless of what it was before.

2) If the second word had a ‘rising/falling’ pitch pattern (like たまご which is L H L), the beginning of the word stays high but the fall is unchanged (H H L).

3) If the second word is a different pitch pattern, it now changes so that it’s pitch falls at the second syllable (H L, H L L, H L L L, etc.)

Though there are some exceptions to these rules, you can assume this occurs for most two word compounds. This actually makes pronouncing compound words correctly much easier. An added bonus is that if you listen for this type of pattern, you can pick out where compound words are present in a dialog.

In this vocabulary lesson, you will learn how to say “sun” in Japanese. Since the Japanese language has quite a few words for “sun“, I want to go over the most common ones and tell you their meaning, translation, and kanji so that you will be able to use and write them right away.

The two commonly used words to say sun in Japanese are “taiyou” (太陽) and “hi” (日). When referring to the sun as a body of our solar system the word “taiyou” (太陽) is more appropriate. “Hi” (日), on the other hand, is used when the sun affects daily life and in words like “sunrise” and “sunset”.

There are a few other common words that can be used to say sun in Japanese: “ohisama“, “otentousama“, and “san“. So let’s go over the definition and meaning of all the 5 Japanese words for the sun. Further down you will also find more advanced words like “rising sun“, “setting sun“, and the Japanese term for “sun breathing“, which is a technique from the anime “Kimetsu no Yaiba”.

• taiyou – 太陽
• hi – 日 or 陽
• san – サン
• ohisama – お日様
• otentousama – お天道様

1. Taiyou – More Scientific Word for “Sun” in Japanese

The word taiyou (太陽) translates as “sun” and is one of the two most commonly used words to say sun in Japanese. It comes from the Chinese language and should be used when you want to refer to the sun as a body of our solar system or in a more scientific way.

taiyou
太陽
sun

Most of the time when you use the word “solar” in English it is translated as taiyou (太陽) in Japanese. “Solar system“, for example, is taiyou kei (太陽系), and the word for “solar cell” is taiyou denchi (太陽電池) in Japanese. The list goes on and on and on.

taiyou kei
太陽系
solar system

taiyou denchi
太陽電池
solar cell

taiyou enerugii
太陽エネルギー
solar energy
solar power

However, the Japanese word taiyou (太陽) can also be used when talking about the sun in normal daily life expressions and sentences like “the shining sun“, “the sun is shining“, “the sun is bright“, etc.

kagayaku taiyou
輝く太陽
the shining sun

Taiyou ga kagayaiteiru.
太陽が輝いている。
The sun is shining

Taiyou ga mabushii
太陽が眩しい。
The sun is bright

In this video, you can see how to write the kanji of the word “taiyou” in Japanese:

2. Hi – Japanese Word Meaning “Sun”, “Sunshine”, or “Day”

Hi (日) is the original Japanese word for sun but has a couple of translations: sun, sunshine, sunlight, day, days, daytime, etc. It is also one of the most common kanji and used in many other words like nihon (日本, Japan) and nichiyoubi (日曜日, Sunday).

hi
日
sun
sunshine
sunlight
day, days
daytime

Whenever you want to talk about the sun in relation to daily life and especially in situations when the sun impacts human lives and activities, this is the word you should use. Since it is a little difficult to explain I recommend you try memorizing the following words and expressions.

hinode
日の出
sunrise

hinoiri
日の入り
sunset

Hi ga nobotta.
日が昇った。
The sun is up.

Hi ga shizundeita.
日が沈んでいた。
The sun has set.

Koori wa hi ni ataru to tokeru.
氷は日にあたると溶ける。
Ice melts in the sun.

There is another Japanese kanji that you can use for the sun which is 陽 (hi). In contrast to the more commonly used kanji 日 (hi), it is less often used, though, and only translates as “sun“, “sunshine“, and “sunlight“.

hi
陽
sun
sunshine
sunlight

3. San – English Loanword Mening “Sun”

Similar to the English loanword “sukai” that you can use to say sky in Japanese, there is also one that you can use for the sun. The word san (サン) is pronounced exactly the same as the English word “sun” and therefore very easy to remember.

san
サン
sun

However, the loanword san (サン) is usually only found in names for characters or names for places like Nakano Sanplaza (中野サンプラザ), which is a rather big and famous concert hall in Tokyo. Also, since it is an English loanword it is written in katakana only and there is no kanji.

4. Ohisama – Honorific Way to Say “the Sun” in Japanese

Ohisama means “the Sun” or “Honorable Mr. Sun” and can be written in kanji as お日様, 御日様, or お日さま. This term is commonly used by children to refer to the sun in an honorific and respectful way.

ohisama
お日様
the sun
Honorable Mr. Sun

5. Otentousama – Even More Honorific Word for “the Sun”

Otentousama, which can also be written as Otentosama or O’tento sama, is another even more honorific word for “the Sun”. In kanji, it is either written as お天道様, 御天道様, or お天道さま. To be honest, I have never heard the word before, so I assume it might only be used in a religious context.

otentousama
お天道様
the sun
Honorable Mr. Sun
