Word origin
The word combines 黄 (huáng, "yellow"), the color name, with 色 (sè, "color"), so its meaning is easy to see from its parts.
Usage tips
- 黄色的书 (huángsè de shū, "a yellow book") puts the color before the noun, like English, but Chinese adds 的 (de, "grammar particle") between the color and noun.
