Future Japanese101.com lessons will distinguish fruits according to
their color and shape. For example, in the Japanese language the
translation for "fruits" is kudamono and "round" is marui. Therefore,
round fruits such as apples and oranges are considered marui kudamono.
The Japanese vocabulary translation for "red" is akai, therefore, red
fruits such as apples and cherries are considered akai kudamono. In the
Japanese language, there is no plural translation for fruits (kudamono)
such as apple(s) (ringo) or watermelon(s) (suika). The Japanese
language translation for color (iro) is introduced in the "Color"
streaming lesson.
