意味

Wings; the wings of a bird, insect, or aircraft.

A noun used both literally for the wings of living creatures and figuratively for freedom or aspiration. Often appears in literary and poetic contexts: 翼を広げる (tsubasa wo hirogeru, to spread one's wings). Also common in names, song titles, and anime. The more everyday word for wing is 羽 (hane), while 翼 carries a grander, more literary nuance.

例文

1. 鳥が大きな翼を広げて空を飛んだ。
2. 飛行機の翼から美しい景色が見えた。
3. 彼女は翼のように自由に生きたいと言った。
