"разные цвета"

Translation: different colors

[Andrewr756]

Can someone please explain why "colors" is "цвета" when it is plural? It feels like it should be цвети or цветы.

[RomanRussian]

• цвет - a color
• цвета - colors
• цветок - a flower
• цветы - flowers

[Berniebud]

There's no rule for it. "Цвет" just has an irregular plural nominative (and plural accusative).

OK, thank you for the explanation and the link :)

Can someone kindly explain the origin of the word «разные», so it would be easier to remember? I keep forgetting its meaning so it would be nice to have some kind of association for it. Thanks in advance

I don't know if this will help and it is a bit late but:
Razing "US, informal : to make playful or unkind comments about (someone)"
- usually because they are different. "They were razing him about his bad haircut"

[awd123ps]

Sounds like the audio is saying «цве́та» instead of «цвета́»

[Sky880974]

Correct, it confuses native and non native speakers in this way.

[Alex2537]

Yes the pronunciation is off throughout this course

[osogr1s]

Why not "THE different colours"? And how does one recognise when the 'the' isn't required?

[freiling]

It should accept that, report it.

Прогулка Луны!

[SilverCharacter]

Yes! I started humming when I saw this sentence.

[KScottCap]

I was thinking, "carry each other."

[Simone342641]

Why not diverse colours?
