Questions & Answers about ame no hi wa kega o shinai you ni ki o tsukemasu.

How is 日 read in 雨の日, and what does 雨の日 mean literally?

Here, 日 is read ひ, not にち.

So:

• 雨 = rain
• 日 = day
• 雨の日 = a rainy day / days when it rains

Literally, it is rain’s day, but in natural English it means a rainy day or on rainy days.

Why is の used in 雨の日?

の connects nouns. It often works like of or shows a descriptive relationship.

So:

• 雨の日 = day of rain → rainy day

This is a very common pattern in Japanese:

• 夏の日 = summer day
• 休みの日 = day off
• 日本の車 = Japanese car / car of Japan

In this sentence, 雨の日 is just a noun phrase meaning rainy days.

Why is there は after 雨の日?

は marks the topic of the sentence.

So 雨の日は means something like:

• As for rainy days, ...
• On rainy days, ...

The speaker is setting rainy days as the situation being talked about.

This is very natural in Japanese when introducing a general condition or context.
