Learn Korean - Colors Vocabulary

[ImRansiJ]

thank u so much for the info

[koreanclass101]

@ImRansiJ Thank you for the comment : )

[ImRansiJ]

@koreanclass101 its a simple thing.ur video is really important for me.im practicing this lesson all day now

[koreanclass101]

@sozhini Geomjeong itself means 'Black'. So, if you say 'Saek' with Geomjeong, it means 'Black color'.

However, 'Geomun' is adjective, but if you use this with 'Saek (which means color)' it also measn 'Black color'.

Both of them have same meaning. You can choose one of them as you want, however, I want to recommend to use the second one like 'Geomun saek' because it is more suitable for both formal and informal cases.

[LongshotCOD78]

I love korean class 101, it really increased my vocabulary in korean, and I know how to read it now too! Yeah!

[koreanclass101]

@LongshotCOD78 Thanks for the comment. It's glad to hear that you can read Korean now. I am very happy to hear that. : )

[Abbigail745]

@koreanclass101 Right, Green could be Chorok saek?? RIGHT?

[koreanclass101]

@Abbigail745 That's right. Both 녹색(nok-saek) and 초록색(chorok saek) means 'Green'

[KhfanKairi]

SHINee brought me here : D

[91buz]

what mean by 'saek'???

[Inamaka123]

@91buz saek literally means "color"

[liegjepiet]

[jh43jy]

@liegjepiet

"jeil joahaneun saek i mwo ya?"

jeil joah haneun means favorite

[liegjepiet]

[talaroro1997]

[15Banshee]

[madalinadragnea]

[talaroro1997]

@makeupgeekaddict i need practise more than you think 

[Magician556]

O Ran Ge SAEK lol  orange

[tokee1234567]

@Magician556 it's actually juhwangsek. the maker of this vid made a huge error.

[MikuPark]

WTF, orenjisaek? XDD its ju hwang saek. XDD

what is ja joo saek? yon doo saek? cho rok saek?

[tokee1234567]

@MikuPark jajoosek - more like bright purple (like it has a bit of pink or red added / wine color)

yeon-doo-sek - light green/grass color

choroksek - green color.

[tokee1234567]

Orenjisek = MAJOR ERROR. Korea has their own word for the colour Orange.

it's supposed to be JUHWANGSEK

[venssss]

How is pink?

[tokee1234567]

@venssss pink= boonhongsek

[venssss]

@tokee1234567 분홍색?Thank you!

[tokee1234567]

@koreanclass101 Orenjisek is not a proper term - it should be Ju-hwang-sek. why use a foreign word when there is already a Korean word for it?

[xViietCutiie]

All I can remember is Orangisek 8)

[tokee1234567]

@xViietCutiie well it's also called juhwangsek... ppl will understand it if you say orangesek but a lot of ppl use juhwangsek. it's the original korean word (orangish-reddish colour) and I don't know why this video didn't include that

[D4L3TT3RDU1313LEU]

@xViietCutiie - LOL Orenjisaek.

[EmYeuAnhLinh]

wow green really sound like green in chinese XD

[jellyfeech]

the easiest one is orange. lol

[x62xy]

Many Korean words used nowadays are old-fashioned Chinese that most people in China don't say. But it would be much easier if we figure out the sound of the words and it would help us memorize the hangul easier.

I think for Korean,Japanese generally understand easier than Chinese .

색 - the Chinese character is 色 （se4 in Putonghua and almost the same sound in Cantonese)

[tia3io]

thank you very much,it´s called sinokorean i think ?

[tokee1234567]

@tia3io yes but there are native korean words for the same colours, and they're used just as often as sino-korean

[tia3io]

I do taekwon-do in the Czech Republic and we say red=hong and blue =chong ,is it type of korean colors?

[tokee1234567]

@tia3io well..... there are 2 types of words in korean. one is pure korean (the one on the video like red and black are pure koren words) but some words are derived from chinese words (a lot of asian countries have that) Hong (red) and Chung (it's actually bluish green than blue) are influenced from chinese words

[tokee1234567]

@tia3io the only thing that's hard about korean is memorizing those two things. for japanese you tend to not have the pure japanese words for all the words that are derived from chinese words, and you can tell b/c they use Chinese letters to write them, not japanese. In korea you hardly write with chinese letters so it's hard to see what words are derived from chinese and what aren't

[Akr1Kierre]

I thought orange is 주황색. Is it two different ones?

[tokee1234567]

@Akr1Kierre 주황색 is the korean word for it. but it's a tad darker than the westerner's view of the colour orange. (like it's more like reddish orange). if you say 오랜지 like orange then that's fine too.

[tokee1234567]

@morganhath pink = 분홍색 boonhongsek, bronze - 청동색... cheong dong sek(not often used so there are no definite words... the word means bluish brown) gold - 금색 geumsek

[AngelicAnimeX]

i'm learning korean, so this was REALLY helpful! and not having romanisation is actually good for me, because it helps me better memorize the hangul. ^_^ besides, i can just sound it out based on what I'm reading, I have good hearing and sense of sound.

sp yeah. this helped SO MUCH, thanks.

[2Shye]

howcome koreans and japanese dont have a native word for orange ?

ive always wondered that.

[BlueDragonMaster98]

@2Shye Orange in Japanese is Daidaiiro. 橙 is the Kanji.

[2Shye]

@BlueDragonMaster98

ok my mistake I thought it was orenji same as the fruit.

[2Shye]

@BlueDragonMaster98 ok my mistake i thought it was Orenji same as the fruit

[tokee1234567]

@2Shye there's 주황색 which is a darker orange colour.... the vid didn't really say but there are names for every colour.

[doctorcullen]

감사함니다..! :-)

[profiremine]

[JrokkuVisuaL]

brown sounds like car sick some what thats how I remember. :D

[franciscobarril]

i think of 'kal' means knife, so i think of brown knives or knives with wooden handles :)

[cuteii0032]

where can i get the romanization ?

all of them end in se ?

[arrowdon]

black- kam eun saek

white- huin saek

green- nok saek

yellow- no ran saek

blue- pa ran saek

red- ppal kan saek

purple- bo ra saek

gray- hwi saek

brown- kal saek

orange- o ren ji saek

[cuteii0032]

ty<3

[mohsine1080]

@arrowdon uhm you're wrong, you didn't write it correctly, it actually is (romanised): black: geomeunsaeg white: heuinsaeg green: nogsaeg yellow: noransaeg blue: paransaeg red: ppalgansaeg purple: borasaeg gray: hoesaeg (oe is pronounced as "wi") brown: galsaeg orange: orenjisaeg PS: I find the woman has a strange accent because she pronounces the 'o' as 'u', ... :O

[arrowdon]

@mohsine1080 I was typing it the way it's pronounced. And ㄱ in "G" at the beginning of a syllable, but it is "K" at the end, but when you have a consonant before the "G" instead of a vowel, it turns to a "k" sound. This is all for pronunciation purposes. Even Koreans say romanji is a little off, so I don't follow it much.

[romakz]

romanize it by yourself - she is reading it! lol...

[G0r11n]

se? you mean saek (색)? saek means color (noun). for example, Noran saek means yellow color and Paran saek means blue color.

[Sukadewa]

Thanks a lot!

[MakeupGeekAddict]

omg this is hard to reamber!! More pratice for me!!

[D4L3TT3RDU1313LEU]

@MakeupGeekAddict - You should stick to learning English first before picking up Korean.

[djandyman]

주황색 is orange ^^

[kawaiiaix]

Thank you ^_^

[edenuch]

Thanks! :D
