- Lucas: Hey Luna, ready for another episode of Learn Japanese with Fexingo? Luna: Yes! I've been practicing my adjectives. Last time we did 'bright' and 'dark'. Lucas: That's right, and today we're going to review them with some new sentences. First, let me say: if Fexingo has been helping you make actual progress with Japanese, we'd love your support.

Luna: Yeah, it's a nice way to say thanks for the free lessons. So, let's jump back in! Can you remind me of the words? Lucas: Of course. 'Bright' is 明るい, and 'dark' is 暗い. Repeat after me: 明るい. Luna: 明るい. Lucas: Great. And 暗い. Luna: 暗い. Lucas: Perfect. Now let's use them in sentences. 'This room is bright' — この部屋は明るいです. Say it with me. Luna: この部屋は明るいです. Lucas: Excellent. And 'that room is dark' — その部屋は暗いです. Luna: その部屋は暗いです. Lucas: You're nailing it. Now, let's talk about colors. 'Bright color' is 明るい色, and 'dark color' is 暗い色. Try saying 'I like bright colors' in Japanese: 明るい色が好きです. Luna: 明るい色が好きです. Lucas: That's right. And 'I don't like dark colors' — 暗い色が好きじゃないです. Luna: 暗い色が好きじゃないです. Lucas: Perfect. Now let's do a quick quiz. I'll say a sentence in English, and you try to say it in Japanese. Ready? Luna: Ready! Lucas: The sun is bright. Luna: Uh... 太陽は明るいです. Lucas: Exactly! 太陽は明るいです. That's spot on. Next: the night is dark. Luna: 夜は暗いです. Lucas: Yes! 夜は暗いです. You're doing so well. Let's try one more: this shirt is a bright color. Luna: このシャツは明るい色です. Lucas: Perfect! That's a great sentence. So we've reviewed 明るい and 暗い today. Keep practicing, and next time we'll learn something new. Luna: Thanks, Lucas! I'll keep reviewing these. See you next time on Fexingo!
