How is rengarenk formed? I think I've only learned renkler/renkli so far (and can probably say renksiz?).

Yes, I was wondering too. It is obviously renk + a + renk, with the first 'k' harmonized into 'g', but does it have a specific literal meaning in English? :-)
Or is the 'a' just a connecting vowel? I know there are languages where a word simply is doubled to express a superlative...

Yes. That's my native language. :D
"warna-warni" means colorful. This one is rhythmic repetition. :D
Turkish is not a language like that (in fact, repetition is used to make adverbs sometimes). Apparently, this is a Farsi loan word :)

Sometimes what looks like a simple phrase is translated as a statement about some 3rd party. Why cannot this one be "it is a colorful turtle"?
It is a missing alternative. You should report it in the future :)

I don't understand what you mean. Is there some corrections option? But I wouldn't have the confidence to report a missing option. Usually there's an explanation. Thanks for all the work you do, Alex.
