"Je suis violet."

Translation: I am purple.

[test_tube]

It sounds exactly like she is saying "jolie".

[patcole1325]

I agree

[Duckies5]

What is this an expression?

[Sitesurf]

Not in French, as far as I know.

If you hear "j'étais vert" it means that the person was very disappointed or highly surprised.

[DuFarge]

And, in English, if one is 'green' it usually mean 'envious'. :)

[languagepotato]

in dutch, when one's green one's sick (or at least nauseated)

[DuFarge]

One can also 'feel green' in American when one is ill. But it is also used for envy. I think the envy part came from Shakespeare's use of the word. He said something like envy being a green eyed monster. I don't remember the exact quote, more's the pity.

[Raquellima.f]

In Portuguese, when the person is "green" is just "hungry green"...

[toxic-nebulae]

Or "very inexperienced."

[msKocmanova]

In Czech when someone turns purple, they get very angry, almost furious.

[test_tube]

In English also.

Is there a difference in pronunciation of "violet" and "jolie"?

[Sitesurf]

Yes, there are differences but I suggest you try them with extra resources using real human voices, like Google Translate or forvo.com
