Laburra

Laburra is a Basque adjective meaning "short" or "brief." It is used to describe something with limited length in space or time, and it can also convey conciseness when referring to a description, statement, or period. In standard Basque grammar, adjectives like laburra generally accompany the noun they describe, and the form is used across Basque-speaking regions with variations in inflection that reflect dialectal differences.

The word belongs to the core Basque descriptive vocabulary and appears in general dictionaries and language-learning materials. It is not commonly used as a proper noun, and there are no widely known places, organizations, or products that are recognized internationally under the name Laburra. When encountered in literature or speech, laburra functions as a straightforward descriptive term rather than carrying specialized meanings.

Usage notes:

- Laburra can describe physical length (for example, an object’s size) as well as temporal duration (for a short wait or brief event).

- While the Basque language exhibits dialectal variation, laburra remains a standard and broadly understood form among Basque speakers.
