==German==

===Etymology===
Shortened from {{m|de|lilafarben}} in the 19th century, from {{der|de|fr|lilas}}.

===Pronunciation===
* {{IPA|de|/ˈliːla/|aa=standard}}
* {{IPA|de|/ˈlɪla/|aa=regional; overall rather rare}}
* {{audio|de|De-lila.ogg}}
* {{hyphenation|de|li|la}}

===Adjective===
{{de-adj|indecl}} ''or (informal)''<br />
{{de-adj|stem:lilan:+[rare]}}

# [[lilac]], [[purple]], [[violet]] {{q|color/colour}}
#: {{syn|de|fliederfarben|;|violett<q:at least in common usage>}}

====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. Additionally, it has also inflected forms without an infix. Compare the same in {{m|de|rosa}}.
* The adjective is usually considered not comparable.
