Indeclinable adjective
| There is a handful of common adjectives borrowed from other languages that cannot take the endings given e.g. beige, lila (mauve), orange, purpur (purple). These adjectives can be used both attributively and predicatively but if used before a noun they often combine in writing with -farben, which can take the usual endings, e.g. Ihre Bluse ist lila. Ihre lila/lilafarbene Bluse. Her blouse is mauve. Her mauve blous. |
