Japanese Lesson – Color
Learning The Japanese Language
It’s not that difficult to start speaking Japanese fast, I took an online Japanese language course and started speaking the language with my Japanese friends pretty fast.
Now that you have learned some Japanese colors the next thing you need to do is learn how to use these words in a real conversation. In order to do this I am first going to teach you how to ask the question “what color is….?”
In Japanese if you wanted to say “what color is your car?” you would say “anata no kuruma wa nani iro desu ka”
Ok, so the word ‘anata’ means you, or in this sentence means ‘your’. Now we see the word ‘no’ which show possession in the sentence, and is called a possessive article. In this sentence the possesion in belonging to the person you are asking the question of.
Now we have the word for Car which is ‘Kuruma’, and is followed by the particle ‘wa’ which is showing us that ‘car’ is the subject of the sentence.
After that we have the word ‘nani’ which means ‘what’ and next the word for colour which is ‘iro’. Finally we finish with the verb ‘desu’ which means ‘is’ and the particle ‘ka’ which makes the sentence a questions.
I hope I explained the clearly for you!
Once someone has asked you that question you can reply telling them the colour of your of you car.
For this example let’s say that your car is red. To say ‘my car is red’ in Japanese you would say “Watashi no kuruma wa aka desu”
Here we have the word “watashi” which means ‘I’ or in this case becomes ‘My’ and then the rest of the sentence is described already. Also remember from the video the word for red is ‘aka’.
Well there you have it, now you know Japanese colours and some basic Japanese sentences.
