黄金の風
ōgon no kaze
黄金の風 (ōgon no kaze) is the Japanese translation for the English phrase "golden wind", which serves as the title for the fifth part of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series.
What does it mean word for word?
The phrase is composed of 黄金 (ōgon) meaning 'gold', の (no) as a possessive particle and 風 (kaze) meaning 'wind'.
How does it change in a sentence?
The particle の (no) functions here to link the noun 黄金 (gold) to the noun 風 (wind), effectively turning 'gold' into an adjective meaning 'golden'.
How do you pronounce it?
ōgon no kaze
Did you know?
- While 黄金の風 translates literally to 'golden wind', in Japanese poetic contexts, the word 黄金 can also refer to the color of ripening rice fields in autumn.
- The word 風 (kaze) is a homophone for several other words, including a term for 'illness' or 'a cold', though they are written with different kanji.
- In Japanese calligraphy, the character 風 can be written in a highly stylized 'grass script' that makes it look more like a flowing breeze than a set of blocks.
