The Chinese word 阴天 (yīntiān) literally means "covered sky" and is used to describe cloudy or overcast weather. It is composed of two characters: 阴 (yīn), which means "dark" or "cloudy," and 天 (tiān), which means "sky" or "heaven." The term 阴天 is often used in weather forecasts to indicate that the day will be cloudy or overcast, and it can also be used to describe a person's mood or disposition. For example, someone who is feeling gloomy or depressed might be described as having an 阴天 (yīntiān) mood.
