GREEN – IN CULTURE continued

In Asian cultures like the Thai and the Japanese, there is no distinguishing word for the green color. For instance, in old Japanese language, phrases like “blue leaves” were used. Even though the word now exists as part of their lexicon, the color is somewhat still referred to as “blue”. Similarly, in the Thai lexicon, the word ‘green’ though present means not only the color but also is used to mean “smelly” and “rank”. As a matter of fact, it is only in the last few years that the proper meaning of the word ‘green’ has been introduced in major dictionaries.

Amazingly, one of the oldest languages of the world – Persian language, the color green is also understood as “black” or “dark”. Other references to this include addressing dark skinned people as “green”, instead of “black” complexion.

COMMON PHRASES –

• Green with envy – means jealousy or being envious

It is horrible to see everything that one detested in the past coming back wearing the colors of the future.
Jean Rostand
