Clothing & Colors
ಬಟ್ಟೆಗಳು ಮತ್ತು ಬಣ್ಣಗಳು
Colors in German are adjectives, so they lean on the adjective-ending logic you'll formalize later — but as vocabulary, the colors and clothing items themselves are simple, high-frequency words worth learning now.
Grammar Comparison
ವ್ಯಾಕರಣ ಹೋಲಿಕೆ
Colors are adjectives — expect them to take endings later
ein rotes Hemd (a red shirt) — rot takes the -es ending, exactly like gut in ein gutes Kind
ಕೆಂಪು ಅಂಗಿ (a red shirt) — ಕೆಂಪು never changes
Color words (rot, blau, grün) behave exactly like any other German adjective — invariant in Kannada, but taking an ending in German that depends on the noun's gender and case, following the same der/ein pattern you'll formalize in A2's adjective-endings lesson. For now, just learn the base color words; the endings will click once you've built that lesson's full pattern.
