Questions & Answers about kono heya wa hiatari ga ii kara, asa wa denki o tsukenakute mo akarui desu.
What does 日当たりがいい mean?
日当たり means exposure to sunlight or how much sunlight a place gets.
So 日当たりがいい means gets good sunlight or is sunny.
In this sentence, この部屋は日当たりがいい means:
- This room gets good sunlight
- or more naturally, This room is sunny
The reading is ひあたり.
Why is it この部屋は but 日当たりが?
This is a very common pattern in Japanese.
- この部屋は sets the overall topic: as for this room...
- 日当たりがいい says what quality the room has: its sunlight exposure is good
So the structure is roughly:
- この部屋は = As for this room
- 日当たりがいい = the sunlight exposure is good
Japanese often uses は for the main topic and が for the specific thing being described within that topic.
Why is it いい and not よい?
