Well, that – MEJIKUHIBINU – recall some of my childhood memories. When I was a cute girl (right now, I’m still cute anyway, LOL) back at 17 years ago, I and my childhood friends love to played MEJIKUHIBINU game.
MEJIKUHIBINU it self means - Merah – Jingga – Kuning – Hijau – Biru – Nila – Ungu!
You got it right! Right! We played color games!
And right now, I’m gonna tell you some of vocabularies that you need, when you want to tell the color. Here we go!

How can I use the word of color in Bahasa?
Well, that’s some difference using kata sifat ( adjective) in English and bahasa Indonesia. In English, we use it .. for example :
Mobil merah
Red car
In english, you guys, put the adjective first before the noun. Isn’t it? In bahasa, we make the reserve version. Put the noun first and put the adjcetive in the end. Another example :
Kulit Hitam! (Black Skin)
Okay. I think you already got it! Let’s see another example :
Apa warna mobilmu?
What colour is your car?
Apa warna kursi di kamar dudukmu?
What colour is the chair in your sitting room?
Kamu suka warna kuning?
Do you like yellow?
One more thing! In Indonesian we use the word “muda” (literally means young) for light color and “tua” (literally means old) for dark color. For example: merah muda (light red), merah tua (dark red), biru muda(light blue) and biru tua (dark blue).
Okay. That’s all for me! Lemme see if you have any question by comment below!
Nice to see you!
