warrior, soldier, man of the valour Explanation: Unless this is from a comic (or anime) that I don't know about this is not a slang. In today's many comics, traditional usages are very much distorted, so if that's the case I don't know. But this is an authentic definition that you would find in dictionaries such Kouji-en or Dai-genkai, etc. "Armed man" is essentially what it means, but personally I like the last expression. In Kouji-en Kanji "兵" as 兵士 (soldier) is used for "tsuwamono". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 11 hrs (2006-10-24 14:38:46 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I reversed the language pair. Source word is not English, and you are asking what it means. I have to assume you are expecting answers in English. |

peer agreement (net): +1brave/ hero Explanation: tsuwamono is expressed as "強者" in Chinese character. This is a classical or old Japanese term for "勇士(yuushi)". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day4 hrs (2006-10-25 08:08:54 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- You can read "強者" as "kyo-sha" also, and this term is not slang today. |
