noun adjective oh-RAHNZH Less Common

Usage Note

Orange is one of the few colour adjectives in French that is invariable — it never agrees in gender or number (des robes orange, not oranges). As a noun, une orange is the fruit. Un jus d'orange is orange juice, and une orange pressée is freshly squeezed orange juice.

Examples

"Elle mange une orange chaque matin."

Natural Translation

She eats an orange every morning.
