Important: color which dont end on "iro" like red, blue, white or black, are adjectives and end on "i". so it is called red - akai, blue - aoi, black - kuroi, white- shiroi
green and purple are called: midori iro and murasaki iro (if i remember correctly)
Well, agreed. It's the muddle of all the colors, technically with white being the lack of all color (most people say the opposite. I learned from tech theatre). But... people still classify it as a color therefore I do to, since it's very nice in clothing.
I've heard "blue" numerous ways. I guess... if you go to Japan, whatever everyone around you is saying, use that. But I know it both as "ao" and "aoi". It's weird. =/
青【あお】 is a noun. 青い【あおい】 is an adjective. If someone asks you, "what color is this?" and you want to say, "it's blue", you say 青です。 If you want to talk about something blue, then you use 青い, because in that case you need an adjective. For example 青い車【あおいくるま】 means "blue car".
wow, I've been living in Japan for a year and a half now and I have never heard some of those colors. Most of the time folks use the english for orange, pink, and grey but good to know.
you're videos really help alot. even tho i doubt i'll be going to japan anytime soon it's fun to know something that you're friends don't lol. and my favorite color is kuro also

Very close. ^_^
Daidaiiro ga suki desu.
You just have to add "desu" to the end of it.
Good job, though!
katexgg 3 years ago 2

だいだい いろ が すき です
thanks for your help!

little corrections:
red: 赤 (aka) -- no need for い after 赤
orange: オレンジ (orenji) -- I think it is most oftenly used for orange.
green: 緑 (midori) -- no need for 色 after 緑, or if you want it, then it's "midoriiro"
pink: besides 桃色 it can also be ピンク (pinku)
brown: besides 茶色 it can also be 褐色 (kasshoku)

Thank you so much. I can't always trust the books/websites I get these from. Heck, I also got some of these from Hapaloha, too.
