angel is 'Mitsukai' in Japanese :)
ReplyDeleteYes, that is right. but using 使い means 'Messenger' which is what an angel is and most Biblical translations, in Japanese, use 使い.
ReplyDeleteOther words for angel are: 天の使い 'Ten no Sukai'
and
天使 'tenshi'
I think most Biblical translations use 使い to show the difference between the pagan version of an angel and the biblical version of an angel.
I thank you for this lovely post. I've been looking how to say Jehova's Witness in japanese since a while ago.
