limonadë

Albanian

Alternative forms

• limonadhë, limonatë — dialectal

Etymology

The earlier form with /t/ stems from Italian limonata while the one with /ð/ was mediated by Greek λεμονάδα (lemonáda). The form with /d/ appears only later, which is why it likely reflects a more recent borrowing from French limonade rather than an original loan from Venetian łimonada.

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /limoˈnadə/
• Rhymes: -adə

Noun

limonadë f (plural limonada)

1. lemonade (beverage)
