واژه در 30 ثانیه
- 초록색 means green.
- It is a noun.
- Used for nature and objects.
- Common in daily life.
When you look at a lush forest or a fresh lawn, you are seeing 초록색. In Korean, this word is a combination of 초록 (green) and 색 (color).
It is one of the most common colors you will encounter in daily life. Whether you are talking about traffic lights or the color of a lime, this is the word you need.
The term 초록 has deep roots in Sino-Korean vocabulary. It originally referred to a specific shade of green associated with natural dyes.
Over centuries, it evolved to become the standard term for the general color green in the Korean language. It shares linguistic history with other East Asian concepts of color classification where green and blue were sometimes grouped together.
You use 초록색 as a noun to describe an object's color. For example, you might say 'The bag is green' (가방이 초록색이에요).
It is used in both casual conversations and formal settings. It is the standard, neutral way to identify the color in almost any situation.
While there aren't many direct idioms using the word, it often appears in environmental contexts. 초록색 지구 (Green Earth) is a common phrase used in campaigns to save the planet.
You might also hear 초록 불, which refers to the 'green light' at a pedestrian crossing, signaling it is safe to walk.
In Korean, 초록색 functions as a noun. To describe an object as green, you typically use the particle -이/가 followed by the word, or the descriptive verb 초록색이다.
The pronunciation is straightforward: 'cho-rok-saek'. The 'k' sound at the end of the first two syllables is crisp and clipped.
Fun Fact
The word '초록' comes from Chinese characters representing the color of grass.
