ProbablyaCrazyPerson 2 Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Can someone tell me when yugata is, time-wise? Is 4pm yugata? Or 9pm? Onegai shimasu! Link to post Share on other sites
Markie 0 Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Yuugata? You mean 夕方 or ゆうがた. That means early evening or dusk. Link to post Share on other sites

IceEiji 0 Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 What time do you say for evening in English? Link to post Share on other sites
woywoy 0 Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 It is quite vague, as is the word "evening" in English, but I think "yugata" starts a little earlier in Japan. Perhaps about 4pm? Correct me if I'm wrong IceEiji? Link to post Share on other sites
gamera 0 Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 In my opinion, yuugata could be the time when the sun starts setting, the sky starts changing its color especially at the west where the sun is setting. So could be 4-5 p.m. in winter, could be 6 p.m. in summer. It's really vague. PCP,do you have an appointment to meet someone sweet at some "yuugata" time and that's why you want to specify what time it is? Link to post Share on other sites
IceEiji 0 Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Yes, I agree. Link to post Share on other sites
Frinkelbean 0 Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 So, ... , what/when is "yoru" then? Link to post Share on other sites
gamera 0 Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 When it's dark - after sunset throughout maybe around 4 or 5 a.m. It's still dark outside at that time, but we say Yoake-mae (before sunrise) for that time. Some people say Akegata instead of Yoake-mae. There are a lot of ways for it. Also, we call it Ushimitsu-doki for 2 or 3 a.m. which means even plans and trees sleep. There's an old proverb 'Kusaki mo nemuru Ushimitsu-doki' *********************** yuugata bigins **sunset**>>>> yuugata ends Yoru ( night ) *** 2 or 3 a.m.***** Ushimitsu-doki *** 4 or 5 a.m.***** Yoake-mae (before sunrise) *****Sunrise ****Asa(Morning) But when we talk about time, we call it asa ( morning) even if it's not after sunrise - like 4 or 5 a.m. Like 'Asa no 5 ji' ( 5 a.m.) So, a little bit hard to specify accurate time for each and every.
