- imba404 3y agoAnd where we get the word "verdant"
- croemer 3y ago> verdant: (of countryside) green with grass or other rich vegetation. > "verdant valleys" > "a deep, verdant green" Learned a new word! I wonder, however, if this word is ever used outside of SATs.

- nytesky 3y agoIn some languages (such as Vietnamese XANH) blue and green use the same word. I always wondered if it was because blue was so rare (other than the sky), why make a new word a color you never see? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue%E2%80%93green_distinction_in_language?wprov=sfti1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue%E2%80%93green_distinction... Verde is not one of them though.
