As far as I’m aware, the verb 染める（そめる） means to dye/colour something, like an item of clothing (though correct me if it has a different meaning). How would I say “I will dye the t-shirt red.”?
My first thought would be to make 赤い[red] into an adverb (i.e. 赤く) to form a sentence like this: ティシャートを赤く染める。
Does that even work? It doesn’t seem quite right to me because then how would you do the same with 緑[green] (not an adjective, right?)?
Saying 赤いティシャートを染める。makes it sound more like you are dying a t-shirt that’s already red.
There is probably some particle I don’t know yet that deals with this sorta stuff. Hold on… I have a feeling 「で」 is involved somehow…
Danke.
