EP.7｜在日本看漢字學中文 — Learn Mandarin Through Japanese Kanji

All the colour words in Malayalam — and the surprise inside them: several of the core colours are not adjectives at all. They are verbs.

I am Dr. Reshmi R. Nair, an applied linguist from Kerala. I have taught hundreds of learners to speak Malayalam as it is actually spoken.

THE WORD FOR COLOUR
നിറം - niram - colour
ഏത് നിറം? - ethu niram? - which colour?
ഈ നിറം എനിക്ക് ഇഷ്ടമാണ് - ee niram enikku ishtamanu - I like this colour

THE BASIC TERMS
വെളുപ്പ് - veluppu - white
കറുപ്പ് - karuppu - black
ചുവപ്പ് - chuvappu - red
പച്ച - pacha - green
മഞ്ഞ - manja - yellow
നീല - neela - blue
തവിട്ട് - thavittu - brown
ചാരനിറം - charaniram - grey, from ചാരം (charam), ash
ഓറഞ്ച്, പിങ്ക്, വയലറ്റ് - orange, pink, violet, borrowed from English

THE COLOURS THAT ARE VERBS
വെളുക്കുക - velukkuka - to become white, and also to dawn
വെളുത്ത - veluttha - white (the participial adjective)
കറുക്കുക - karukkuka - to become black
കറുത്ത - karutha - black
ചുവക്കുക - chuvakkuka - to become red
ചുവന്ന - chuvanna - red
So ഒരു വെളുത്ത ഷർട്ട് is literally a shirt that has whitened.

പച്ച — THE MOST INTERESTING WORD IN THE SET
പച്ച means green, and also raw, unripe, fresh, uncooked, unprocessed.
പച്ചവെള്ളം - pachavellam - plain unboiled water
പച്ചക്കറി - pachakkari - vegetables
പച്ചമാങ്ങ - pachamanga - an unripe mango
പച്ചയായി പറയുക - pachayayi parayuka - to speak bluntly, without softening

AND ONE FINDING WORTH KNOWING
Across hundreds of unrelated languages, colour terms enter in a fixed order. Malayalam's own etymology preserves that sequence: black, white, red, green, yellow and blue are native Dravidian; brown and grey are built from other native words; orange, pink and violet were borrowed last.

What colour is the shirt you are wearing? Answer in Malayalam below.

Transcrição do episódio (caracteres limitados) 

Hoje nossa viagem falada vai nos levar até o Norte do Brasil, a maior região do país em extensão territorial, onde a Amazônia domina a paisagem e inspira o coração.
São sete estados incríveis: Acre, Amapá, Amazonas, Pará, Rondônia, Roraima e Tocantins. Lá, a natureza é majestosa, e a vida — muitas vezes rural, outras vezes urbana — tem um ritmo todo seu, marcado por rios e por lendas antigas.
Ao falar do Norte, a primeira imagem que vem à mente é a Floresta Amazônica, a maior floresta tropical do mundo — um verdadeiro veículo verde cheio de biodiversidade. Ela abriga milhares de espécies de plantas, animais e insetos que você não verá em nenhum outro lugar.
E por falar em rios… O Rio Amazonas, com seus afluentes, forma a maior bacia hidrográfica do planeta. É como se o mundo respirasse ali. Barcos, pequenas comunidades ribeirinhas, peixes gigantes como o pirarucu… Tudo isso faz parte do cotidiano de quem vive às margens desses rios — inclusive em Manaus, a “cidade da selva”.
E você sabia que em alguns lugares do Norte existe o ** ocorrência da cheia e da seca**, e as casas ficam sobre palafitas para acompanhar o sobe e desce da água? É uma adaptação incrível — simples e elegante.
A cultura do Norte é rica em festividades e expressões artísticas. Tem o Festival Folclórico do Amazonas, o boi-bumbá no Pará — com destaque para o famoso Boi-Bumbá de Parintins — e tradições indígenas que mantêm vivas suas línguas, opiniões e saberes.
E a gastronomia… ah, essa é de emocionar! Tem tacacá, maniçoba, pato no tucupi, jambu, além de belíssimos frutos amazônicos, como o açaí, o cupuaçu e o tucumã. O gosto é forte, exótico e inesquecível.
A região também é símbolo de resistência — tanto ecológica quanto cultural. Comunidades indígenas, quilombolas e ribeirinhas lutam para preservar a floresta e suas tradições, enfrentando desafios para manter o equilíbrio entre o homem e a natureza.
