Note
“Losange” is the name for the shape not the name of the stone.
Note
To use these nouns to describe the shape of objects we usually, add the words “en forme de” in front of the shape. “De” doesn’t change.
Un ballon en forme d’étoile.
Note
For certain shapes, we prefer to use the adjective to describe the shape of objects. For “cercle” we will use “rond(e)”, for “triangle,” “triangulaire”, and for “rectangle” “rectangulaire.”
Note
For “carré” and “ovale” we do not change anything.
