The Colour Blue?

Submitted by celticflower on Fri, 09/18/2009 - 16:26.

Hello, in my text book it says that blue is aoi あおい and my dictionary shows 青い [adjective], which is the same thing, yes? So just to get it straight in my head あお is literally the phrase 'the colour blue'? Or do you just mean blue? I think my head may explode! Oh, is this just the colour on its own? Not used to describe something else? I'm bad at grammar, I feel like such an idiot *lol* Thanks! :)

THE SYMBOL YOU SAW IN YOUR DICTIONARY IS THE KANJII YOU HAVE TO KEEP IN MIND THAT KANJII ARE SYMBOLS INTERGRATED AND YOU WILL S0ON ENOUGH KNOW ENOUGH TO KNOW THE DIFFRENCE (=^.^=)

Thank you for the reply

Thank you for the reply Valatunda. you helped me with the poetry book question too, I'm lucky you're online today!
So it's all in how you're using it? If you were listing the colours, Blue would be a noun [?] so you'd use 青 by itself?

If you were using blue as an adjective, to describe something like a blue flag, [pinched this example from my JWPce software dictionary], you’d add in い and use 青い旗 the 青い for blue and 旗 for flag?

Am I even close? :-)

As long as you were listing

Submitted by Valatunda on Fri, 09/18/2009 - 19:44.

As long as you were listing the colours as nouns, then that seems right.

Examples:

濃い青（こいあお）
This is dark blue, so here 濃い (い-adjective) is attributing the characteristic of “dark” to 青 (noun).

好きな色は何ですか。（すきないろはなんですか）
青です。
