"Μία άσπρη πάπια."

Translation: A white duck.

[Lng52-._]

"άσπρη" vs. "άσπρο"--is this feminine and masculine?

[mizinamo]

άσπρος is masculine, άσπρη is feminine, άσπρο is neuter in the nominative case.

In the accusative, it's άσπρο - άσπρη - άσπρο.

[AntoineHel1]

What about the genitive? Thank you

[mizinamo]

του άσπρου - της άσπρης - του άσπρου

[garpet]

Is "άσπρος" related to the word ASPIRIN? :)

[mizinamo]

No :) It's a coincidence.

The spir- bit of aspirin is from the scientific name of a plant and is ultimately related to "spiral", and the a- is short for "acetylated".

[Kefir87]

What about λευκός?

[Dimitra956826]

"Μία λευκή πάπια" is an accepted alternative already. ^.^

[Kefir87]

But is there a difference in meaning between the two?

[Dimitra956826]

No. Both are used, but άσπρος is a bit more common. ^.^

[Kefir87]

Ευχαριστω!

[StepHPsc92]

Is it me or have I just heard 'άσκρη' instead of 'άσπρη'?

[Dimitra956826]

I do not hear any κ in άσπρη. I checked both slow speed and regular speed audio in the incubator, they both sound fine. However, do keep in mind that this is not a native speaker talking, but a TTS (Text-To-Speech) program. So, it's relatively normal for some sentences to sound slightly unnatural. ^.^

so green goes after the noun but white before?
