So there's no het-word version of roze, that doesn't end in "-e"? I assumed that "roos" would be the indefinite article het-word version of roze.
Well I'm from Belgium and there roos is correct but roze certainly works too
Ah, sorry. Didn't know that. Here in the Netherlands we don't have 'roos' (as a colour).
Because "roos" is only used in specific areas, whereas "roze" is standard Dutch. That does not make "roos" wrong in the regions where it is being used. But for the purpose of learning a language it is best not to confuse people with all the words that regionally can be used.
As a guide Van Dale defines "roos" as:
-
The flower rose
-
A rosebush
-
Dandruff
-
Bullseye of a dartboard
But not as a colour. As said that is "roze"
