Hello,
could you hellp me with some questions on color terms and their associations in Japanese?? I am wraiting a paper on color terms in various languages, including Japanese; still, I should maybe mention that my knowledge of Japanese is very poor (unfortunately
) The questions are:
What are the associations of colors, red, green and blue? Could you think
about any expressions employing these terms?
Does the expression "to roll out a red carpet" (or any similar) exist in
Japanese?
Is blue the color of royalty as in European languages?
Why does red (aka) stand for 'complete' or 'clear' as in the expression
akahadaka ?
Is blue kind of a color of lying in Japanese or loyalty as in European
languages?
Thanky ou for any help,
zerus
