新しい古いうち.　What does this mean?


There's new, old and home?? in it. But I've seen multiple translations. If
anyone could help it'd be appreciated.




> 新しい古いうち

This is from 「となりのトトロ」. サツキ, メイ and their father move into a very old house.
So the house is _new_ to them (新しい[家]{うち}, new place, new home), though the
house/building itself is actually very old. Literally "Our new old house". So
I think it means "Our new home in an old house" or "An old house we newly
moved in".
