Undei no Sa (雲泥の差 - A World of Difference)

Sep 7, 2017 19:57
You will feel "undei no sa" (雲泥の差) for various things, as long as you live a life.

"Undei no sa" means a very big difference or a huge gap of something.

The "un" (雲) means "cloud," the "deo" (泥) means "dirt," the "sa" (差) means "difference," so the literal meaning of the combination is "differences between cloud and dirt."

Here the cloud implies the sky, and the dirt implies the ground.

That is to say, the phrase "undei no sa" represents a big difference/gap, like the distance between the sky and the ground.
雲泥の差

生きていると、さまざまなものに対して「雲泥の差」を感じることがあると思います。

「雲泥の差」とは、非常に大きな差や隔たりを意味する言葉です。

「雲」は "cloud," 「泥」は "dirt," 「差」は "difference" を意味するので、 「雲泥の差」の文字通りの意味は "difference between cloud and dirt" となります。

ここで、「雲」は「天」、「泥」は「地」を示唆しています。

すなわち、「雲泥の差」という言葉は、天と地ほどの隔たりがあるということを表しています。

Interesting! I'm writing this from my phone because for some reason Chrome crashed on me several times when I tried to correct your entry.

Thank you so much always for correcting my post!
This terrible problem would be solved temporarily by changing "Access Settings."
