Etymology

[edit]

From Middle Chinese 皇帝 (ɦwɑŋ teiH). See also 三皇五帝 (Sankō Gotei) and 始皇帝 (Shikōtei).

Pronunciation

[edit]

Noun

[edit]

(こう)(てい) (kōteiくわうてい (kwautei)?

  1. emperor (of a country other than Japan)
  2. East Asian empress regnant
    (そく)(てん)(たい)(せい)(こう)(てい)
    Sokuten Taisei Kōtei
    Great Sage Empress Zetian
  3. (tarot) the Emperor

Usage notes

[edit]
  • (てん)(のう) (tennō) is generally used exclusively to refer to the Emperor of Japan, while (こう)(てい) (kōtei) is generally used exclusively to refer to emperors of other countries.
  • An East Asian empress regnant has the same title as an emperor, not specifically "empress (regnant)" like in European languages. Similarly, a queen regnant has the same title as an emperor.
