ngjyrën

Ngjyrën is an Albanian noun form meaning “the color,” used to refer to color as a concept or to a specific color when definiteness is required. It is the definite singular form of ngjyrë, the common noun for color, hue, or pigment. The term belongs to core color vocabulary used across everyday speech, art, design, fashion, and education.

In Albanian, color words function within a system of definiteness and agreement. Ngjyrën appears in contexts where the color is specified or when it serves as the object of a verb or preposition in a definite sense. The phrase ngjyra e kuqe, for example, is a standard construction meaning “the red color.” The word is employed across dialects and registers, from casual conversation to formal writing, and it combines with adjectives and other nouns to describe and classify colors.

Etymologically, ngjyrë is considered part of the native Albanian color vocabulary, with its forms adapted through standard Albanian inflection and definiteness patterns. It is commonly found in dictionaries, grammars, and linguistic descriptions of Albanian color terminology.
