Noun

[edit]

цэ́гла (céhlaf inan (genitive цэ́глы, uncountable, relational adjective цагля́ны)

  1. brick (building material)
    • 1911, А. Новіч, У дому лепей, Пецярбург: Загляне сонцэ и ў нашэ ваконцэ, page 12:
      Да берагу яще далёка, але ўжо відаць горы, не высокіе, не такіе, як на Каўказе, якіесь рудые, як бы с цэґлы.
      Da bjerahu jašče daljóka, alje ŭžo vidacʹ hóry, nje vysókije, nje takije, jak na Kaŭkazje, jakijesʹ rudyje, jak by s cegly.
      It's still too far from the shore, but the mountains are already visible, they aren't high, not the same as in the Caucasus, somewhat brownish, as if made of brick.

Usage notes

[edit]
  • Like the Ukrainian word, this usually denotes the building material, while the countable noun цаглі́на (cahlína) is used for individual pieces of bricks.
