Light and Dark Colors
Light and dark colors are just as easy to learn in Finnish. Light in Finnish is vaalea and dark is tumma. And when connected with the color, they are written “vaalean” or “tumman”. For example dark red in Finnish is tummanpunainen. Just remember that in Finnish the words are written together. If you write them seperately, for example “tumman punainen” would mean “dark’s red”. But this is a mistake that even Finns make sometimes so don’t worry about it.
