@toneji @mario @kojinmanus Allow me to put my 2 cents in here. If I’m not mistaken, “たそかれ(tasokare) “ suggested by Toneji should be more accurate for twilight, when the Sun is setting (in the evening). Which is nowadays spelled “黄昏” and read “たそがれ(tasogare)”. As for “かはたれ (kahatare)”, it should be more about dawn, when the day is breaking (in the morning).

AFAIK both 彼は誰時 and 黄昏時 originally referred to both dusk and dawn, but you’re right, from some point onwards the former was used for dawn and the latter for dusk.

@kojinmanus @toneji @mario Oh yes, dusk! That was the word I was searching for. I’ve always thought that twilight is about dusk rather than dawn. It’s kinda new to me that it refers to both. It’s ! dictionary.cambridge.org/dicti

Oh, so maybe it’s different in the US than it is in the UK. Interesting indeed.

sooo interesting (I'm not a native English speaker either, and to sloppy me it could mean both). FWIW in the scene I was watching, 彼は誰時 definitely referred to dawn, so that seems to agree with what everyone said (it's just the English subtitles that suggested twilight).
