llums

Llums is the plural form of llum in Catalan, meaning lights or sources of light. The singular llum refers to a single light source or to light in general, while llums denotes multiple lights. The noun is feminine, with definite form les llums and indefinite form una llum.

Etymology and linguistics: Llums derives from Latin lumen, the root shared by many Romance languages for light. In Catalan, the digraph ll represents a palatal consonant [ʎ], and the plural is formed by adding -s, as in llums. The word can describe both natural light and artificial illumination, such as lamps, bulbs, or streetlights, and it is widely used in everyday speech as well as in literature and media.

Usage: Llums can refer to multiple light sources in a scene or to the concept of illumination in a space. Common phrases include les llums de la ciutat (the city’s lights), llum natural (natural light), and llums de Nadal (Christmas lights). It can be used figuratively to denote brightness, clarity, or enlightenment in a metaphorical sense.
