New Year's Eve - Omisoka
|
The last day of the year is also called "Omisoka" or "Otsugomori." "Misoka" refers to the last day of each month. On the other hand, "Tsugmori" is a corrupted version of "Tsukigomori," which means "the day the moon is hidden," and both refer to the last day of each month. To express "the last special day of the year," the two words for the last day are combined to say "Omisoka" and "Otsugomori." Source: Synergy Marketing Co., Ltd.

1年の最後の日を「大晦日〔おおみそか〕」または「大晦〔おおつごもり〕」とも呼びます。「晦日〔みそか〕」とは毎月の末日のことです。一方「晦〔つごも り〕」とは、"月が隠れる日"すなわち「月隠〔つきごもり〕」が訛ったもので、どちらも毎月の末日を指します。"1年の最後の特別な末日"を表すため、末 日を表す2つの言葉のそれぞれ「大」を付けて「大晦日」「大晦」と言います。
