I have put together this lesson on Japanese weather and colours and have listed some words for you to learn below.
Kin iro = Gold
Kurai Iro = Dark Colour
Kuro = Black
Rairakku Iro = Lilac
Gin Iro = Silver
Ao = Blue
Murasaki = Purple
Akarui Iro = Light colour
Chairo Iro = Brown
Shiro Kuro = Black and White
Mizu Iro = Light Blue
Aka = Red
Midori = Green
Pinku = Pink
Shiro = White
The next thing that is important to learn is how to use these words in a sentence, so lets take a quick look at how we could do that shall we:
First we will learn the phrase: “My Car is Green”
In Japanese this is “Watashi no Kuruma wa midori desu”
In this sentence the word ‘watashi’ is ‘my’ and the word ‘kuruma’ is ‘car’ and we just learned the word for ‘green’ which is ‘midori’.
The other smaller words we have are called particles and are used to indicate what the subject and where the possession is.
You may also want to learn how to use the word for colour “iro” in a question to. To do this you would say: “Anata no kuruma wa nani iro desu ka”
As you can see the sentence is similar but we have the word ‘anata’ which means ‘your’ and the word ‘nani’ which means ‘what’ and then the the word or particle ‘ka’ which turns the sentence into a question.
You may also want to learn some useful phrases for Japanese weather too, so for this let’s watch the video below:
Finally let’s have a quick look at how you would ask for something.
In order to demonstrate this we will look at the sentence ‘do you have coffee?’ as an example?’
In Japanese this is “Koohii wa ikaga desu ka”
The word for coffee isn’t hard to guess it’s ‘koohii’ and we also introduced a verb ‘have’ which is ‘ikaga’. One last point is that the word ‘desu’ is a verb and is like the English verb ‘is’
If you want to learn Japanese fast then the best method is online. The great thing about online courses is that it doesn’t matter if you want to learn Japanese in New York, or Singapore, because the lessons come to you.
