Kanji in this term

Pronunciation

Noun

(hiragana ひな, rōmaji hina)

  1. a type of small doll, typically standing upright in the Heian period, changing style to a seated posture in the Muromachi period

Compounds

Etymology 2

Kanji in this term
ひいな
Jinmeiyō
kun’yomi

*/pipina/*/fifina//fiwina//hiːna/

Possibly an alteration of a reduplicated form hinahina.

Pronunciation

Noun

(hiragana ひいな, rōmaji hīna, historical hiragana ひひな)

  1. (archaic) doll
Usage notes

This reading with the long ī is archaic. In modern Japanese, the shorter reading hina is more common for this sense.

Compounds

Etymology 3

(hiyoko): A baby chicken (chick), Gallus gallus domesticus
Kanji in this term
ひよこ
Jinmeiyō
kun’yomi

*/pijoko//fijoko//hijoko/

  2. child; youngling, greenhorn
Compounds

Etymology 4

Kanji in this term
ひよっこ
Jinmeiyō
kun’yomi

/hijoko//hijokko/

Alteration of hiyoko above. The geminate kk sound emphasizes the diminutiveness.

Pronunciation

Noun

(hiragana ひよっこ, rōmaji hiyokko)

  1. a chick, a young bird
  2. a child; a youngling, a greenhorn

Etymology 5

Kanji in this term
すう
Jinmeiyō
on’yomi

From Middle Chinese. Most reconstructions of the original Middle Chinese reading start with an affricate, so this Japanese reading may have come from a dialect; compare Hakka reading ts'u1.

Pronunciation

Affix

(hiragana すう, rōmaji )

  1. young, new, a greenhorn

Only used in compounds.
