peer agreement (net): +3zeLYOny, ZHOLty, and it's complicated Explanation: If you want to say simply the name of the color, you say the following adjectives plus the word "tsvet", which means color. green zyi - LYO - ny tsvet yellow ZHOL - ty light blue guh - lu - BOY deep blue SYEE - nyee (the transliterations are a bit different, often "zelyonyy, zholtyy, goluboy, siniy) If you want to attach the color to an object, the endings may change, depending on grammatical gender and case. So you could have all kinds of variations like: pod golubymi nebesami = "under blue skies" |
