[Ask Hyojin] Difference between ?? and ?? - a podcast by G9Languages

The two words ?? and ?? (both in the adjective form) are interchangeable in many contexts. The basic difference between the two words is that ?? is used for something that is always red by nature, and ?? is used for something that is more specific and individual.

For example, your lips are always red, so it's more natural to say that they are ?? ??. But if you make them even more red by putting on lip stick, you can say that they become ??. And for objects like pens or notebooks, they can be in any color but if they are red, that is more often called ?? than ??.
