kokëulur

kokëulur is an Albanian word that literally translates to "head down." It is often used metaphorically to describe someone who is ashamed, embarrassed, or humbled. The term can also refer to a person who is deeply engrossed in thought or contemplation, to the point of appearing withdrawn.

In some contexts, kokëulur might imply a sense of submission or defeat. However, it can also describe a state of introspection or humility, not necessarily negative. The specific nuance depends heavily on the surrounding conversation and the social context in which it is used. For instance, a student who has failed an exam might be described as kokëulur due to shame, while a person reflecting on a profound experience might be kokëulur in a more contemplative manner.

The physical posture associated with kokëulur is a head bowed or lowered. This posture visually reinforces the internal state of the person. It is a common expression in Albanian to convey a range of emotions and mental states related to lowered self-esteem, deep thought, or a subdued demeanor. The word itself encapsulates a visual and emotional response, making it a rich term in the Albanian language.
