We know what Mad thinks about the color banafsaji fro the colors video.

LA, I’d say about your color a “violet”, just a degree of banafsaji.

this game reminds me of another game… when you touch your nose and then ask the person in front of you “where’s your chin?”

LA, yes, the point is to practice colors but also concentration, just not the make the game plain easy.

Good, I see that you’re also adding the feminine form, that’s a good idea too.

#115

[quote=Admin]Correct.

[color=#FBAC03]Black - Noir[/color][/quote]
limouni

I’m surprised that ‘orange’ is called ‘limouni’ from ‘limoun’ (lemon) as lemons are usually yellow or green!
Is it understood if we say ‘burtuqali’?

#116

[quote=kompaso][quote=Admin]Correct.

Good question. Moroccan lemoun is not the English lemon. What you call lemons in English are called 7amd in Morocco, and they are indeed yellow or green. Oranges are called limoun in Morocco, hence why we call the color orange limouni, referring to the color of llimoun, the oranges.
Burtuqali is fos7a, from bortoqal, llimoun in Darija, oranges in English.
Confusing?

Next color:

[color=#06CCF8]White - Blanc.[/color]

Hint: Light blue.

PS: Just a reminder, we are practicing mainly the list of colors we have on the website (In English - En français), so no surprise if you see us here calling fuchsia pink, we’re just making things simple.

I write in English but I’m Spanish. I was surprised because we have the Spanish word “limón” for a “lemon” (7amd in darija as you explained). I thought that the darija word “lemoun” had something to do with the Spanish one, but seemingly there is no relation :slight_smile:
