"Orange is a special color."

Translation: Orange är en särskild färg.

[HPFoley]

Grön är inte en kreativ färg!

[sixangryeels]

Nightmare fuel

[muteprint]

So Orange the color is Orange and Orange the fruit is apelsin?

[davost]

Yes, that is right.

[jxxmxxj]

In other places I've heard the TTS say "särskild" with an sj-sound in the middle, but here it's different. Should it be an sj-sound here, or is there a pronunciation rule I'm not aware of?

[Zmrzlina]

No, either works.

[jxxmxxj]

Thanks!

[HoroTanuki]

Orange är den ny svart

[davost]

Orange är det nya svarta :-)

[HoroTanuki]

Thanks for correction, but why svarta? Is it plural?

[davost]

It is the definite form.

• Ett svart hus
• Det svarta huset

[HoroTanuki]

Oh, right, it slipped my mind. Thanks for the reminder!

[vogliocapire]

but isn't (svarta) here a noun as in the color black?

[degrasseme]

Black can be a noun (Svart är en fin färg) but in "de svarta huset" it's an adjective describing a house.

[paparazzo90]

Is there a difference between 'speciell' and 'särskild' ?

[Zmrzlina]

Särskild is more like "a certain one" and speciell is more like "special" in the positive sense of uniqueness.

[paparazzo90]

Thanks !

So it seems that this does not accept the dialect from Skåne, where 'Brandgul' is another word for 'orange' Good to know.

[Arnauti]

Brandgult är en särskild färg is an accepted answer.

[Wheatley36]

Must've clicked on the wrong answer. Oh well.

[AbirbhavG]

So brandgul would literally translate into fire yellow, or fiery yellow if I'm not wrong. Because fireman is brandman...

[Wheatley36]

Yes. Brandgul is used more in the southern parts of Sweden near Malmö and Karlskrona

[swisshummingbird]

If it wasn't an en-word, would it be for example ett särskilt barn?

[Wheatley36]

Yes, the article is connected to the noun, so ett särskilt barn is correct.

[swisshummingbird]

thanks. I was just wondering because särskild ends with "d"... so the "t" would replace it.

[Eddie_Werewolf]

Orange is my favourite colour.

Speciellt?
