////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

I introduce ''橙色 ( orange )'' on this time.

We use this kanji when we express a color.

But, the use frequency is not high.
Because most Japanese know words of ''orange'', we use the words of ''オレンジ色 ( o re n ji - i ro )''
We write "orange" as "オレンジ ( o re n ji )" in katakana.

We often use a foreign language and the native language together.
This will be one of the Japanese flexibility, too.
It is very splendid talent.

However,

it is necessary to know that there are words forgotten in the back.
Because the words have the long history.
I think that it is very splendid to respect the history.


I introduce ''紫色'' on the next time.


Thank you.
See you next time.

All of us are piece of peace.
