Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /ˈblasˌliːla/

blasslila (strong nominative masculine singular blasslilaner or (rare) blasslilaer, not comparable)

Usage notes

  • 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 lila and rosa.
