- Lucas: Hey, welcome back to Learn Japanese with Fexingo. I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna. Lucas, I've been practicing the bright and dark words from last time. Lucas: Oh, that's great. Let's review them today. So 明るい means bright, and 暗い means dark. Luna: 明るい, 暗い. Got it. Lucas: Perfect. Now remember, to say 'this room is bright', you say この部屋は明るいです. Luna: この部屋は明るいです. That sounds good. Lucas: And 'that room is dark' is その部屋は暗いです. Luna: その部屋は暗いです. So その for 'that' near you. Lucas: Exactly. Now let's try colors. 明るい色 means bright color, and 暗い色 means dark color. Luna: 明るい色, 暗い色. I like bright colors. Lucas: Me too. Let's do a quick quiz. I'll say a phrase in English, and you say it in Japanese. Ready? Luna: Ready. Lucas: This room is dark. Luna: この部屋は暗いです. Lucas: Perfect. That room is bright. Luna: その部屋は明るいです. Lucas: You nailed it. Now let's put it in a little scene. Imagine you're shopping for paint. You see two colors: one bright, one dark. What do you say? Luna: I'd say これは明るい色です, and それは暗い色です. Lucas: That's exactly right. And you used これ and それ correctly too. Luna: Thanks. So these adjectives are really useful for describing things.
