Konnichi wa, Mina San! Good afternoon. Today we'll be going over the Japanese words for colors. Please take a look at the chart below: The above chart only shows some of the color names. There are many more colors names in Japanese. Also, the color names above are in the noun form. When talking about the color names in abstract you would just use the noun form. However, some color names change form when used as adjectives and placed before the object being described. For example: red = aka; the red apple = akai ringo blue = ao; the blue book = aoi hon black = kuro; the black shoes = kuroi kutsu yellow = kiiro; the yellow dress = kiiroi doresu white = shiro; the white clouds = shiroi kumo And so on. However if the color word is before the desu, the noun form is used. For example: The yellow dress = kiiroi doresu The dress is yellow = doresu wa kiiro desu Some color words sometimes take a "no" or "の" when used as adjectives, placed before the object being described. If you'll recall "no" denotes possession. For example: 茶色の犬 ちゃいろ の いぬ chairo no inu the brown dog 緑のリンゴ みどり の リンゴ midori no ringo the green apple Let's see some other examples of the usage of these color words: 私の犬は茶色です わたし の いぬ は ちゃいろです Watashi no inu wa chairo desu. My dog is brown. 象は灰色です。 ぞう は はいいろです 。 Zō wa haiiro desu. The elephant is gray. あの猫は白いです 。 あの ねこ は しろいです 。 Ano neko wa shiroi desu. That cat is white. 紫色の本は大きい むらさきいろ の ほん は おうきい Murasaki iro no hon wa ookii. The purple book is big. ピンクの魚は小さい ピンクのさかなはちいさい Pinku no sakana wa chiisai. The pink fish is small. Okay, that's it for this time. Here's a nice video from Japanesepod101.com featuring some colors: Thank you for reading. I appreciate it. For bonus content, please check our my SubscribeStar page.
