明天 = tomorrow (**//tomorrow//**'s forecast is a //**__clear sky__**//) 天明 = daybreak (when the **//__sky is clear__//**) 明明=very clear. Duplicating a word in Chinese emphasizes the meaning of the word. __Read this language weave outloud:__  My 太太 is 明明 about me helping out in the house! 明天 we have guests coming. When the 日goes down, if our home is not clean she will be 太 sad! It's a 大 job to get our house ready for guests. When I see that the 月is in the 天, I hope that I can rest and go to sleep so that when the 天明 arrives and the colors in the 天 come out, my 太太will be happy. Are you feeling comfortable reading these Chinese characters? Good job for the 日.
