Hi,

Could you guys help me find the meaning of the word "datsun"?

I don't know the spelling obviously

Thanks guys!

You mean like the car? Wikipedia explains it well: Datsun - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

dudeee · (#3 (**permalink**))

no no, not the car.

it actually translates into one of the following, i don't know which

1.rain
2.tall mountain
3.shining sun
4.green tree

There is no word "datsun" that translates into any of those. Not even close. The closest is "tall mountain" which could be "kouzan" so it at least has that "s/z" sound and the "n" at the end, but that's it.

Where are you getting this from?

I dont find that word in the dictionary o.0

Since you mention big I can assume the beginning of the word you want could be DAI...as per tsun I am still trying to figure out what it might be.

Ｈｉ．
I'm sure that "datsun" isn't correctly spelled.

Daisen 大山　is the name of a Japanese volcano, which is as high as 1729m.
I would say it's a tall mountain which is famous for skiing.

伊達山 (Datesan) is the name of a Japanese mountain, whose height is unknown to me. There is a golf course in the mountain in Hokkaido.
But 伊達山　is pronounced as date-yama,　which seems different from what you saw.

In Japanese top 100 highest mountains, I can' find the name which resemble "datsun".

If you provide me more context, I think I could help you.
In what situation, did you see that?
Is the writer a native-Japanese person or someone who might write it in hybrid of Japanese and English?
Is it your homework?
Why do you provide the four choices?

Hi.
I found another possibility.

Both "Datsun" and "Shining sun" might be the name of horse-race horses, or dog race, or something related to those races.

TBH, I think you're getting a tad bit -- um, nevermind, I haven't even got the adjective in my vocabulary. So, post away!

This is so random. Please explain where the heck you even got this idea from!
