Etymology

edit

From 月(つき) (tsuki) + 遅(おく)れ (okure, “連(れん)用(よう)形(けい) (ren'yōkei, “stem or continuative form”) of the verb 遅(おく)れる (okureru).”).

Pronunciation

  • (Tokyo) つきお​くれ [tsùkíóꜜkùrè] (Nakadaka – [3])[1]
  • IPA(key): [t͡sɨᵝkʲio̞kɯ̟ᵝɾe̞]

Noun

edit

つきおくれ • (tsukiokure) ←つきおくれ (tukiokure)?

  1. celebrating a holiday 1 month after its official date on the Western calendar,[note 1] and thus closer to its date on the traditional lunar calendar
    月遅(つきおく)れ盆(ぼん)
    tsukiokure-bon
    month-later-Obon (August 15 instead of July 15)

Notes

edit
  1. ^ Japan transposed lunar dates onto the Western calendar during the Meiji era instead of keeping both separately, as is done in China.
