Japanese sizes are divided into “dai” (large), “chuu” (medium) and “shou” (small).
Phrases like “ookii fuku” (large clothes) and “chiisai kutsu” (small shoes) are used in conversation.
However, size display for items such as clothes are written as “L,” “M” and “S.”
English terms are generally used for colors like gray (haiiro), pink (momoiro) and orange “daidai.”
Japanese terms are generally used for the colors kiiro (yellow), chairo (brown), and murasaki (purple).
The word “iro” (color) is generally added after “ki” and “cha;” as in “kiiro” and “chairo.”
When a color word is used as an adjective, an “i” or “no” is added after the color word; as in “akai kutsu” (red shoes) or “chairo no fuku” (brown dress).
