minus-squaretrashgirlfriend@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·6 months agoWouldn’t it be both? Assuming 蚤の市 and フリーマーケット have the same meaning.
minus-squaremanucode@infosec.publinkfedilinkarrow-up2·6 months agoI assume that 蚤の市 is a loan word and フリーマーケット a calque. But I don’t speak any Japanese.
minus-squarerandintlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·edit-26 months agoNo, it’s the other way around. 蚤 means flea and 市 means market. フリーマーケット sounds like flea market.
minus-squareDojan@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·6 months ago 蚤の市 Yep! nomi no ichi. Nomi (蚤) means flea, and ichi (市) means market, no (の) is a possessive particle making it “flea’s market” or “market of flea”
