I have another question "oro" does this have two forms? Can I use "oro" and "ori" for sing. and plural or just use "oro" one term singular?

Elizabeth Soto answered 16 Oct 11

p.s. also "Lilla" "lilac" how many forms? :)

Salvatore Saja answered 16 Oct 11

In some cases you can use "Ori" [ meaning "golden jewellery" ], but the standard name for the color is "Oro" [ invariable - "Gold" ] or "Dorato/a/i/e" [ "Golden" ].
