Red is raudonas, green is žalias, blue is mėlynas. Press the speaker next to a color to hear it, then read below why its ending changes.
Colors are adjectives, and the dictionary form ending in -as is the masculine singular: raudonas obuolys, a red apple. With a feminine noun the ending becomes -a: raudona suknelė, a red dress. In the plural they turn into raudoni and raudonos.
Every color here works the same way: baltas sniegas but balta katė, žalias medis but žalia žolė. Rožinis, pink, becomes rožinė: rožinė suknelė.
Lithuanian splits blue in two: mėlynas is blue in general and dark blue, žydras is the light blue of a clear sky.
To ask what color something is, say Kokios spalvos? Spalva is the word for color.

Verba sends a short dictation every morning and brings the word back exactly when it starts to fade.
