How do you say purple in Spanish?

 

There are purple-lovers everywhere in the world (seriously, we have thousands of fans around the world!) and so we’re trying to learn how to say “purple” in every language.

Below is a list of every phonetic translation we could pull out of Google for purple in other languages. We’re sure we’re missing some, and some could probably use better translations, so keep an eye on this post and check it before you travel to a country where they speak a different language. Obviously, it’s essential that you can say the word “purple” wherever you go!

Overheard at the Purple Store

Overhead at The Purple Store’s Seattle location, from visitors from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada:

Savannah, age 13: “Dad liked purple before it was cool.”

Her sister Summer, age 9: “Seriously, Savannah, purple has always been cool.”

The nine-year-old then bought two bow ties.

Mom: “What are you going to get bow ties for?”

Summer, eyes wide: “I LIKE bow ties!”
