Question

How are combination colors like "blue-grey" named in German?

Community Answer

There is blaugrau ("blue-grey") and schwarzweiß ("black-white"). These are mostly used for mixtures of colors or referring to patterns. But if you talk about separate colors I would recommend just putting und ("and") between - it's much easier! Like Es ist grau und blau ("It is grey and blue").

Question

How do you say "a small one" & " a large one" in German?

Community Answer

For situations like this, you can turn the adjectives into nouns: "ein Kleiner" and "ein Großer". If you want to use the actual word for whatever you're describing, keep them as adjectives: "eine kleine Katze", "ein großer Hund".
