"A narancssárga holland szín."

Translation: Orange is a Dutch color.

[Krisbaudi]

The orange dutch colour. - was marked wrong. Why?
Orange is a Dutch colour - sounds, as if the Dutch developed this colour first. It is not even in their flag nowadays. What is meant with this sentence?

[woozlification]

They are looking for sentences that use colours and recycle some of the language we have learnt without worrying about a lot of meaning. It's still the colour for lots of their sports teams, though, and apparently the reason most carrots have been bred to be orange!

[Benjiii1989]

I don't understand why there is a "a" before narancs. I would have said "Narancs egy holland szin". Whats wrong with that ?

[Shamarth]

"Narancssárga" is a noun here, and singular nouns usually have to be preceded by some kind of article. Without "a" it sounds as if "narancs" was a proper name.

[zzt108]

The article shows that the "narancssárga" is a noun here. Without "a" it would be the color of the next noun

[JBaer1]

How would one say "Orange is the Dutch color"? Would that be "A
narancssárga a holland szín"
?

Orange is THE Dutch color. Not any other. But could also be a Chinese.... color.
