Verdhë

Verdhë is the Albanian word for the color yellow. It is used as both a noun and an adjective to describe yellow objects, light, and color in everyday language. The term is part of the core Albanian color vocabulary and is widely understood across dialects.

In grammar, verdhë behaves like other color adjectives: it agrees with the noun it modifies in gender and number. When discussing colors in general, Albanian speakers often use the expression ngjyrë verdhë to specify the yellow color. The pronunciation features the dh digraph, representing a voiced dental fricative, and the final ë is characteristic of color terms in Albanian.

In everyday use, verdhë appears in references to fruits, flowers, clothing, and design where yellow is intended. Yellow symbolism varies with context; it commonly denotes brightness and daylight and is used in decorative or signaling contexts, depending on region and tradition.

Verdhë is a basic lexical item in Albanian and serves as a foundation for learning color terms in the language.
