The question for asking colors is constructed similar to the way it´s done in English:

    Eng: What color is XXX?

    Tr: XXX ne renk? (Here, ne is what and renk is color)

The answer is also simple:

    Eng: XXX is red.

    Tr: XXX kırmızı.

However, note the difference in word ordering when you want to add a color (or any adjective) to an indefinite noun.

    Eng: A red XXX.

    Tr: Kırmızı bir XXX. (Not ´Bir kırmızı XXX´)

 

Now, try to understand the following sentences. English translations are below the Turkish sentences.

    1. Bu araba açık mavi.

    2. Evim koyu kırmızı.

    3. Gözlerin ne renk?

    4. Beyaz bir gömlek aldım.

 

1. This car is light blue. 2. My house is dark red. 3. What color are your eyes? 4. I bought a white shirt.
