slam7000: Yea, yellow is edo. Example: Ola edo means gold, which when literary translated can be read as yellow jewellery,cos ola is jewellery and edo is yellow. |

Please oh! If people should call white =ocha and yelow =edo in igbo, then what is gold and silver in igbo? |
| Re: Do You Know The Names Of Basic Colours In Your Local Language? by pazienza(m): 6:31pm On Sep 27, 2013 |
kayci_d77: Anwu anwu means grey, like you have in 'isi anwu', meaning grey hair. Rusty should be ''nchara', oroma for orange? I doubt, i don't even think oroma is an igbo word,oroma sounds like a borrowed word, blue is 'anunu'. |
| Re: Do You Know The Names Of Basic Colours In Your Local Language? by pazienza(m): 6:33pm On Sep 27, 2013 |
kingk: Please oh! If people should call white =ocha and yelow =edo in igbo, then what is gold and silver in igbo? Gold is 'Ola edo',ie yellow jewellery, silver is 'ola ocha',ie white jewellery. |

pazienza: I know that there's a gold colour and a silver as well as white and yellow, but calling yellow gold and white silver...they are not the same thing. |
