EtymologyEdit
Shortened from lilafarben in the 19th century, from French lilas.
PronunciationEdit
- IPA(key): /ˈliːla/ (standard)
- IPA(key): /ˈlɪla/ (regional; overall rather rare)
Audio (file) - Hyphenation: li‧la
AdjectiveEdit
lila (indeclinable) or (informal)
lila (strong nominative masculine singular lilaner or (rare) lilaer, not comparable)
- colored lilac, purple, violet
- Synonyms: fliederfarben; (at least in common usage) violett
Usage notesEdit
- The adjective is usually treated as invariable in the formal standard language, thus neither declined forms nor comparation forms are used.
- In less formal style and in the vernacular, lila has normal inflected forms. An -n- is then infixed before (vocalic) endings. Additionally, it has also inflected forms without an infix. Compare the same in rosa.
- The adjective is usually considered not comparable.
