Pronunciation

- IPA(key): /ˈlɪla/ (regional; overall rather rare)
Adjective
lila (comparative lilaner, superlative am lilasten or am lilansten)
Usage notes
- The adjective is usually treated as invariable in the formal standard language, thus neither declined forms nor comparation forms are used.
- In less formal style and in the vernacular, lila has normal inflected forms. An -n- is then infixed before (vocalic) endings. Compare the same in rosa.
