Spanish Word of the Week: Brown

This week’s word is: marrón mah-rohn’ (adjective) which means brown. Although I have heard the word cafe used as brown as well. Check out a couple of examples:

1. Se me olvidó echarle agua a mi planta y ahora tiene las hojas marchitas y marrones. I forgot to water my plant and now the leaves are withered and brown.

2. Siempre soñé con tener el pelo claro y los ojos azules, pero tanto mi pelo como mis ojos son marrones. I always dreamed of having fair hair and blue eyes, but both my hair and my eyes are brown.
