How do I say: "What is the opposite of ..." in Japanese?
For example:
- What is the opposite of hot? - cold.
- What is the opposite of bright? - dim.

I often have such situations where I forget a word but know the exact opposite. So this phrase would help me a lot! I found 逆 but it doesn't seem to be really what i want.

Cheers,
Christoph.
