Question 1

Why don't turquoise and orange have an -s to agree with the plural noun logos?

Accepted Answer

Because both turquoise and orange are colors derived from nouns (the gemstone and the fruit). In French, color adjectives based on nouns are invariable, meaning they never change form for gender or number.

Question 2

What if the opponents had separate logos, some being entirely turquoise and some being entirely orange? Would the grammar change?

Accepted Answer

In this specific sentence, no, because turquoise and orange are always invariable. However, if you used standard colors like vert and rouge, you would write des logos verts et rouges for separate green and red logos, but des logos vert et rouge if each individual logo contains both colors. Multi-color combinations acting as a single pattern are also invariable.

Question 3

Do I pronounce the s at the end of Leurs?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you must make a liaison. Because adversaires begins with a vowel sound, the s at the end of Leurs is pronounced like a z, smoothly connecting the two words.

Question 4

Is adversaires used for sports opponents or enemies in a war?

Accepted Answer

Adversaires is generally used for opponents in a game, sport, debate, or political election. If you were talking about hostile enemies in a war or conflict, you would usually use ennemis.
