Pronunciation
(Sino-Magyar) IPA:
- Ma: n/a
- Hon: [ˈtɛnt͡ʃøŋɡ]
Noun
天上 (Cyrillic: тєнчѫнг)
- heavens (RWH: mennyek; mennyország)
- This word is used in a religious sense in the context of elements of Chinese philosophy absorbed into the ancient faith, referring to Heaven in the contexts of the Son of Heaven (天子) and the Mandate of Heaven (天命). Later, it was also adapted to refer to the Christian "Kingdom of Heaven".
