Gender of colours
All the adjectives of colour below end in ‘-a’, but only some of these also act as a noun.
- fucsia - fucsias - lila - lilas - magenta - magentas - mostaza - mostazas - naranja - naranjas - púrpura - púrpuras - rosa - rosas - siena - sienas - terracota - terracotas - turquesa - turquesas - violeta - violetas Is it correct to say that none of these has a gender change i.e., they always end in ‘-a’ for the singular? Is it also correct to say that the plural can be formed for all of these by simply adding ‘-s’? In other words, can these adjectives appear in sentences like these ones: - No me gustan los bolsos turquesas. - Prefiero los abrigos violetas. Some sources say you don’t add an ‘-s’ to form the plural, but others say you do. Many thanks in advance. |
