gluten
The English word gluten is translated into Croatian as gluten.
Meaning: cereal protein (noun)
Did you know?
- In Croatian, the word bezgluteni meaning 'gluten-free' is frequently used as a standalone adjective for entire lifestyle categories, not just food.
- The plural form gluteni is rarely used in Croatian because the protein is viewed as an uncountable mass, unlike in some other Slavic languages.
- While the word is the same, the pronunciation of the 'u' in gluten is a short, crisp sound unlike the more rounded English vowel.
