Talk:Magika No Kenshi To Shoukan Maou:Volume 7 Chapter 2
Just a question. What's the term for "colored thing" in "but thanks to its overall high quality it was by no means could be called as a colored thing and engendered elegance instead"? The word for "color" can have some other meanings, and in this case I belive that's what happens...--Kemm (talk)
The 'colored thing' there means something like a gaudy color scheme, color in cheap clothes. The point is it simply doesn't look good.--Bakapervert (talk) 20:27, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
- I just ask because the word 色 (iro) can mean:
- color.
- complexion.
- appearance.
- love, lust, sensuality.
- kind, type, variety.
- If the word in question is 色気 (iroke), then it can mean:
- coloring, shade of color.
- sex appeal.
- romance, charm.
- desire, interest.
- If it is 色っぽい (iroppoi), the meaning gets narrowed directly to "amorous, sexy, erotic". 色事 (irogoto), composed from "color" + "thing", wuld mean "love affair, sensual pleasures", while 色物 (iromono), also composed from "color" + "thing" (another kanji) does mean "colored thing" (or "variety show").
- As a side note, 色女 (iroonna) can mean either "good looking woman" or "concubine", while 色男 (irootoko) means "lady-killer, sexy guy".--Kemm (talk)
I've just noticed, and I don't know why it took me so much time to realize, that Regina looking down on Kazuki for "flirting with a girl without minding the TPO" is terribly hypocritical of her, since her very own Diva is a serial offender in that regard, with aggravants of rape, abduction and the other party not being always female; many of the Divas of her mythology share offence, and sometimes the other party isn't even human. But, well, her own Diva is just as much of a hypocrite since, among other events, there was this one time he awarded a king with a living cloud in the shape of his own wife and older sister (he's the youngest of all the siblings) for him to do as he pleased and then got him jailed with a very harsh sentence in Hades for sleeping with said cloud (which afterwards gave birth to the centaurs).--Kemm (talk)
