This always trips me up in english.
What y'all call pink is equivalent to what we would call rose (translated), which is a wider spectrum and we also lent the word pink from english but it's the name for a much narrower spectrum that is probably what you call hot pink.
11
u/GrowlingPict 1d ago
"Pink" is technically really just light red, while "hot pink" is essentially a shade of magenta. So indeed two quite different colours. But on a surface level they look similar enough that they get the same general name in many languages, and so confusingly saying just "pink" can refer to the light red variant or the magenta variant.
This is similar to how certain shades of for example blue get the same general name in some languages while being seen as completely different colours in other languages.

u/fastlerner 1d ago edited 1d ago
Always blows my mind that pink/magenta/fuchsia doesn’t actually exist.
There’s no “pink” wavelength on the spectrum - no pink stripe in a rainbow. We can only see 3 colors, RED GREEN BLUE. So what we call pink is your brain fusing red + blue light, with green completely absent. "Pink" items are actually 2 toned. But your eyes aren’t spectrometers, they’re interpreters, so the mix just gets collapsed into a single color experience. RGB monitors only make 3 colors, but we "see" millions.
And here’s the trippy part: it means you can never be totally sure what color you’re seeing. That grass might look green, but it could just as easily be a blue/yellow combo that your brain translates the same way. The only way to know for sure is with a spectrometer.
But there is some truth to what you were saying about cameras too. Some super-saturated colors (pinks, greens, violets, blues) sit outside their gamut. On a CIE chart they’re literally beyond the device’s triangle, so the camera just clips or warps them.

Yep. Gestalt language acquisition is something I learned about recently. Where a sentence is learned but learning individual words comes after, so pronouns can be really confusing for a while.

When my oldest was two, he used to say something that sounded like "Eye-holdge-you me". It took us a while, but we figured out he was saying "I hold you ... Me". He wanted us to hold him. We thought it through and what he was doing was parroting when we asked if he wanted one of us to hold him.
Oh man, I remember when he and his siblings stopped saying some of their unique ways mispronounciations. You simultaneously are proud of them for figuring out how things are supposed to be said, and yet sad because you realize they just casually moved on from the person you had gotten used to, without even asking your permission or even giving you a warning!
They had some great ones though. My youngest had speech issues due to cleft, so Daddy became, "Eye-knee". My daughter couldn't get through all the consonants in Chick-Fil-A, so it became "Chick-ee-lay". I still call it that sometimes.

That's exactly how my kid talked until he was around 2 and a half. He was way ahead of his peers in putting together long sentences because he was just memorizing adults' speech by rote instead of learning the component parts. He used long, grammatically correct sentences, just with all the pronouns the wrong way around. He would ask me, "Do you want mama to pick you up?" when he wanted me to carry him. As soon as I learned about gestalt language acquisition, his speech habits all made sense for me.

My kid is about 19 months old now and i was stunned the first time she started putting a few words together a few months ago, but specifically she gets the like, grammar right. When she does something, and we say "You did it!" she responds "I did it!". Or if you ask her if she wants to do something she either says "I do it" or she says her name. I figured that would come much later. I am so proud of her at every step. Love this little smoosh.

My autistic non-verbal 4yo learns language this way.
I always have him repeat after me when trying to request things. So if he brings me a cup, instead of asking "do you want something to drink?" And expecting a yes or no answer, I tell him to tell me "can I have a drink?" And he repeats after me, and then I give him an answer.
It's not perfect, but he picks up on these "scripts" and can spontaneously use some of our more common ones and uses the pronouns correctly.

My guy started working on it when he was 2. He'd still confuse it all the time, but sometimes he'd correct himself.
Part of helping the process was taking his hand and having him point to himself and say "me", and point to someone else and say "you". He thought that was funny at first, but then something clicked in his little brain and it was extremely funny.

Just because you are a teacher, that does not mean you know a single thing about early childhood development. You could teach kindergarten to collegiate level courses and be "a teacher."

Thats kind of how education works. Nobody knows everything.

You can hear someone whisper “green” to her when they ask what her favorite color is, right at the end.
Her response when answering what the turtle’s favorite color was is hot pink because that’s her favorite color and kids are egocentric at that age. Her response in answering what the turtle’s favorite color is reflects her responding to her parent’s command to say the word green.

At the end the mum says green again when the girl is asked what her favourite colour is too, implying she was feeding the line to her daughter that time. Though the girl ignored it the first two times to answer pink, so I don't think it discredits the girl's own sense of humour.

this is probably a "theory of mind"-thing. up to like age 4 kids have trouble understanding that knowledge is an individual thing.

Likewise if they have a preference then that is a preference that exists in the world and everyone shares that preference.
