- Lucas: Hey Luna, ready for another episode of Learn Spanish with Fexingo? Luna: Yes! I've been practicing my colors from episode... wait, we did colors before, right? Lucas: We did basic colors: rojo, azul? Actually, we only did rojo in episode 29 with clothing. Today we're expanding! We're learning five new colors. Luna: Ooh, new colors! I love colors. What have we got? Lucas: First up: azul. Say it with me: a-ZUL. Luna: A-ZUL. Azul. Lucas: Perfect! Azul means blue. Like the sky. El cielo es azul. Luna: El cielo es azul. The sky is blue. Got it. Lucas: Next: verde. VER-de. Luna: Verde. That's green, right? Like grass? Lucas: Exactly. La hierba es verde. Grass is green. Luna: La hierba es verde. Nice. Lucas: Now amarillo. Ah-mah-REE-yo. Luna: Ah-mah-REE-yo. Amarillo. Yellow. Like a lemon? Lucas: Yes! Un limón es amarillo. A lemon is yellow. Luna: Un limón es amarillo. Okay, I'm with you. Lucas: Next: negro. NEH-gro. Luna: Negro. Black. Like a black cat? Lucas: Exactly. Un gato negro. A black cat. Remember we learned gato in episode 21. Luna: Oh yeah! Un gato negro. I remember. Lucas: And last: blanco. BLAHN-ko. Luna: Blanco. White. Like snow? Lucas: La nieve es blanca. Snow is white. But careful: blanco changes to blanca if the noun is feminine. Luna: Oh, like la nieve is feminine, so blanca. Got it. Lucas: Let's practice them all together. Repeat after me: azul. Luna: Azul. Lucas: Verde. Luna: Verde. Lucas: Amarillo. Luna: Amarillo. Lucas: Negro. Luna: Negro. Lucas: Blanco. Luna: Blanco. Lucas: Awesome! Now let's use them in sentences. I'll say a phrase, and you tell me the color. El cielo es... Luna: Azul! Lucas: La hierba es... Luna: Verde! Lucas: El sol es... Luna: Amarillo! Lucas: La noche es... Luna: Negra? Wait, noche is feminine, so negra. Lucas: Yes! La noche es negra. Good catch. Luna: And la leche is blanca? Lucas: Exactly! La leche es blanca. Perfect. Luna: This is fun. Can we do a mini dialogue? Lucas: Sure! I'll ask: ¿De qué color es tu camisa? What color is your shirt? Luna: Mi camisa es azul. My shirt is blue. But what if it's a girl's shirt? Would it be azul too? Lucas: Good question! Azul and verde don't change – they stay the same. But amarillo, negro, blanco change for feminine: amarilla, negra, blanca. Luna: So la camisa blanca, but el pantalón blanco? Lucas: Exactly! You're a natural. Luna: Okay, your turn, Lucas. ¿De qué color es tu coche? Lucas: Mi coche es negro. Luna: Nice. I want a yellow car. Un coche amarillo. Lucas: Ah, like a lemon on wheels! Now let's review one more time. Repeat: azul, verde, amarillo, negro, blanco. Luna: Azul, verde, amarillo, negro, blanco. Lucas: And remember: adjectives agree in gender. Great job today, Luna. Luna: Thanks, Lucas! This was a colorful episode. See you next time on Fexingo! Lucas: Until next time, keep practicing your colores. ¡Adiós!
