llargada

Llargada is a Catalan noun meaning length, extension, or duration. It is derived from llarg, meaning long, and the suffix -ada forms a noun that denotes the result or act of making something longer. In standard Catalan, la llargada denotes the measure of how long something is, or the extent of something along its length. The term is used across multiple domains to describe physical length, spatial reach, or the span of time.

In everyday language, llargada describes the physical extension of objects such as rope, fabric, or cables, and it appears in construction, textiles, and map reading to indicate how long a piece or segment is. It can also be used figuratively to express endurance or persistence, for example when referring to a long task or a lengthy waiting period. The word functions as a general descriptor of extent rather than a specific technical measure.

In sport and physical contexts, llargada is used to refer to a long throw or a long reach, with exact meaning varying by discipline and regional usage. It may also appear in descriptions of exercises emphasizing extension of the limbs or the overall span achieved in a movement.
