Japanese

<p>
	In Japanese, the words for colors can be divided into two groups.
	All colors are nouns in their base form,
	but some can be turned into <strong>い-adjectives</strong> by attaching an <strong>い</strong> at the end,
	and some can not. Below are some sentences containing color words that are <strong>い-adjectives</strong>.
</p>

<table class="ui celled table">
    <tbody>
        <tr data-item="219677"></tr>
		<tr data-item="219678"></tr>
		<tr data-item="219679"></tr>
    </tbody>
</table>

<p>
	We can place these in front of nouns just as we can with any other <strong>い-adjective</strong>.
</p>

<p>
	The color words below cannot be turned into <strong>い-adjectives</strong> however.
	We can make them adjectival by using the particle <strong>の</strong>, just as we can with other nouns.

        <tr data-item="219683"></tr>
		<tr data-item="219694"></tr>
		<tr data-item="219687"></tr>
