How to Describe Things With Colors

The most important thing you'll learn today is - 색 (color). This particle can be dropped when describing a noun, but it can also stay. Either way is correct.


Examples:

빨간 사과 / 빨간색 사과 = red apple

파란 집 / 파란색 집 = blue house

분홍 꽃 / 분홍색 꽃 = pink flowers

하얀 티셔츠 / 하얀색 티셔츠 = white shirt



Dialogue Example:

가: 이 검은색 원피스를 어때요?

A: What do you think about this blue dress? / How about this blue dress?


나: 정말 예쁘다! 잘 어울리네요.

A: This is really pretty! It matches well.


 


*Removing 색 only works for certain colors when modifying nouns, including:


빨간색

노란색

녹색

검은색

파란색

하얀색


For any colors other than these, just attach it before a noun: 분홍색 = Pink

분홍색 셔츠 = pink shirt


Same goes for colors that end with -빛
