These are GreekMate’s simple Sand recognition forms. Colour endings can change later depending on the noun and context; this beginner page deliberately does not turn them into a large grammar table.

Curated from GreekMate’s approved Sand colour lesson. Swatches match the GreekMate reference set.

Use the forms

Three approved colour chunks

• Είναι κόκκινο.

  Íne kókino.It is red.A first recognition phrase.

• Μπλε και άσπρο.

  Ble ke áspro.Blue and white.Connect two familiar colours.

• Πράσινο ή κίτρινο;

  Prásino i kítrino?Green or yellow?Practise choosing between two forms.

A visual routine

Practise with objects around you

1. Choose three swatches and cover the English.
2. Retrieve the meaning from the Greek.
3. Look around and identify something that matches each colour.
4. Return later and change the order.

When colour recognition is comfortable, connect the words to everyday object vocabulary.
