bukur

Bukur is an Albanian word meaning "beautiful" or "handsome." It functions as an adjective used to describe someone or something that is aesthetically pleasing. In common usage, it appears in phrases such as "një njeri i bukur" (a beautiful person) or "shtëpi e bukur" (a beautiful house). The related noun bukuri refers to beauty.

Adjectives in Albanian agree with the gender and number of the nouns they modify, so the form of bukur can vary across phrases and dialects. The word is primarily used in descriptive contexts to express positive appearance or quality.

Beyond its descriptive role, bukur may also occur as a surname in some Albanian-speaking communities and as a place name in certain Balkan localities. When used as a proper noun, it is capitalized and treated independently from its adjectival sense.

Because Albanian inflection and dialectal variation can affect exact usage, the precise form of bukur may differ in different regions or contexts, but the core meaning remains “beautiful” or “pleasant.”
