"You have a dark suit."

Translation: Vous avez un costume sombre.

[Ciaran656947]

What does this mean

[mehmetorak10]

It means youre batman

[Trofaste]

It means that you have a suit which is made with cloth of a dark colour.

[Ripcurlgirl]

Hey Trop → wouldn't un costume foncé be more appropriate here?

[Trofaste]

Hey! It's also correct and accepted, and "sombre" is SS approved. :)

Nice to see you! Thanks for your awesome help in answering all the new questions. :)

[Ripcurlgirl]

Pas de souci ma bonne amie !

[krista189497]

You are such a nice person Ripcurlgirl

[krista189497]

I had the very same thought Ripcurlgirl as to use un costume fonce

[RottenHedgehog]

You have a dark suit?

[Ripcurlgirl]

Read the thread please.

Why not 'Tu as'?

[Trofaste]

"tu as" is accepted, provided the rest of the sentence is correct. If you wrote "tu as une costume sombre", that's wrong, however, as "costume" is masculine.

[KeishaWalk2]

I wrote "tu as un costume sombre" and it wasn't accepted

[LawrenceRu12]

I chose the word complet which is the exact equivalent, surely that is not wrong. I find this very frustrating.

[Trofaste]

The exact equivalent of what?

[LawrenceRu12]

Suit

[Trofaste]

I see. "un complet" is an old-fashioned word that nobody uses anymore; when it is used it means specifically a 3-piece suit, not just any suit.

[Yucca-Moh]

So is there a difference between sombre, foncé, brun ?

[Manuel599019]

you can use sombre and foncé interchangeably in sentences like this one, but when you mention a color and you want to say that it is a dark color you have to use foncé instead of sombre.
example: J'ai un costume gris foncé (you can't say gris sombre).
Brun is dark brown.

[Rentzy]

ok so basically you can't say sombre and a colour in the same sentence? Does this apply if the colour is a noun rather than an adjective?
