Hi Tom
What ‘reddish’ are you referring to? Do you mean people( red- haired)???
If so, I can think only of:
She loves the reddish (substanivised adjective).

I may be utterly wrong :slight_smile:

Do you mean: ‘She loves radishes’? ‘Reddish’ is an adjective and would need to be followed by a noun, e.g. ‘She loves reddish hair’.

It would help to have a bit of context.

Yes, context might help immensely.
As your sentences stand, Tom, they sound unfinished or incorrect.
What the heck are “reddishes” supposed to be? Various shades of red? :?
