ANSWERS PART II

1. 色(い)  2.白(ろ)  3.黒(ろ)

4. 机(つくえ)  5. 椅子(い)  

6. 雲(も)  7.雨(め)  8.雪(ゆ)  9.き as a feminine name

10. 北(き)  11.来た(た)  12.着た(き) "wore" 

13. 買った(かっ)  14.勝った(った) "won" 

15. いす  16. ありま

17. オタク  18. ポケモン

19. 高い(たい)  20. 安い(やい)  21. れい  22. おいし

23. ンドン  24. リ  25. 東京(とうきょう)  26. ヨークシャー

27. レビ  28. ーラ  29. コーヒー  30. ーメン

Regarding #8 and #9, what is interesting is that even if the feminine name is written with the kanji 雪, it will be pronounced as き, which is dいfferent from how 雪 is pronounced as a regular noun.

A similar phenomenon is seen in the place name 渋谷(しぶや)as opposed to the family name 渋谷(ぶや).
