    If any of you have watched Kuroko no Basuke, the names of the generation of miracles really help you remember colours
    _Ki_ se - Yellow hair
    _Midori_ ma - Green hair
    _Ao_ mine - Blue hair
    _Murasaki_ bara - Purple hair
    _Aka_ shi - Red hair

      Wait, so, what's the word for hair? Nah, I mean kanji, because the pronunciation for the word hair changed for each color?

      No no, I was just mentioning that their hair colours match their names. 'Kise' is the character's name, and he has yellow hair. The word 'hair' isn't in their names, just the colours.

    I hope you all enjoyed the lesson.
    I encourage you to ask questions about this lesson. I will respond as soon as possible.
    Please read this very important note:
    *The Japanese colors come in two forms. One form is called the "noun form" and the other is called the "adjective form".
    This fact will sound puzzling at first, but do not worry, I will cover the differences and usages of both forms in a future lesson.
    For now, only focus on memorizing the NOUN form which is the form presented in this lesson.
    Why so? Well, the noun form is the basic form of Japanese colors and is the form you will encounter when learning colors for the first time. So it is a good starting point. From there you can move on to learning the "adjective form", which luckily is not too different from the noun form, so it will not be hard memorizing both forms. I promise! : )

    hey. i like how you keep it simple but also don't leave out necessary information. it's really helpful. :) I've got a question though. i learned blue as aoi and red as akai instead of ao and aka. is it basically the same or are there also rules on how to use them?

    • @NipponCat
      @NipponCat  7 лет назад +80

      Hi Neru,
      Thank you for your comment and feedback.
      I'm happy you found this lesson useful.
      Your question is a good one and a common question that all new learners of the language have, so I previously posted a comment explaining your question.
      I want to elaborate for you though.
      ---------------------------------------------------
      ★I first want you to know that Japanese colors have two forms.
      _The noun form and the adjective form._
      ★To know which form of the color to use, ask yourself if the color is describing another word in the sentence or not. The form you use will depend on whether or not the color is being used to modify another word in the sentence.
      So, to answer your question,
      Both aka and akai mean red. The main difference is that "aka" is the noun form of the color red, while "akai" is the adjective form.
      ------------------------------------------------------
      *Example using the noun form of red:*
      ►Watashi no daisuki na iro wa *aka* desu.
      My favorite color is *red.*
      {In this example, red is being used on it's own as a noun. It is not modifying any word in this sentence, therefore we use the noun form of the color red (aka) }
      *Example using the adjective form of red:*
      ►Watashi wa *akai bara* ga suki desu.
      I like *red roses.*
      {In this sentence, red is being used to modify the word "roses(bara)".
      Note how the color red comes directly before the word "roses" and is describing it, therefore red is being used an adjective, thus we use the adjective form of the color red (akai). }
      ★The same rule applies all other colors. They all have a noun form and an adjective form.
      ------------------------------------------------------
      Stay tuned in for a video lesson I have planned that will further clarify your question.
      I hope this helped you.
      Thank you for your question, it is helpful to others as well. : )
      Keep up the good work!
