"mov"

Translation: mauve

[Felipe.ccs]

I had never heard of this color in my native language (PT)

[iubitascarmi]

Cor malva ;)

I'm English and this is the first time I've heard of the colour mauve. Why learn this and not purple?

[George_RDK]

Mauve is a shade of purple.

[Ces.10]

Apparently the Romanian word that literately translates as purple ('purpuriu') is used a lot less than 'mov'. Strange how languages work sometimes. Apparently your native language influences how you perceive colors. Russian has two words for separate shades of blue. For non-Russians, that might seem unnecessary, but to Russians it might be weird that other languages use the same word for two colors.

Purple is more correct

[SamuelRias1]

I really don't know this word in English (My main language is spanish), but guess that must be related to purple due to greek "μοβ".

[INalsGio]

Actually both words in Romanian and Greek are borrowed from French

[PisuCat]

I'm expecting a "eax, 1" after this.

Never thought I'd see an assembly joke on Duolingo :-)

[LordPrawn]

Is it this word really important for beginners?

[Lajos905235]

it's not really a beginner word but it is a good example for adjectives with just one form in Romanian. there are adjectives with four, three, two and one forms and it's important to know what's what (four forms: one form for feminine and masculine each in singular and plural)

[Chris307416]

Should be named "purple" says my romanian wife!

[CarloGamag1]

The sound sounds more like mous!! The only eason I got it correct is because I knew t was the name of a color
