minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•4 months agoWouldn’t it be both? Assuming 蚤の市 and フリーマーケット have the same meaning.
minus-squareDojanlinkfedilink2•4 months ago 蚤の市 Yep! nomi no ichi. Nomi (蚤) means flea, and ichi (市) means market, no (の) is a possessive particle making it “flea’s market” or “market of flea”

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish3•edit-24 months agoNo, it’s the other way around. 蚤 means flea and 市 means market. フリーマーケット sounds like flea market.
