The word for 'yellow' shows interesting linguistic connections across languages. In German ('gelb'), Dutch ('geel'), and Swedish ('gul'), the Germanic roots are clear. Romance languages like French ('jaune'), Italian ('giallo'), and Spanish ('amarillo') differ, with 'giallo' stemming from Latin galbinus (pale greenish-yellow) and 'amarillo' related to 'amarus' (bitter). Slavic languages such as Russian ('жёлтый') and Polish ('żółty') share a common Proto-Slavic origin. Finnish uses 'keltainen,' unique to Uralic roots. In Turkish, 'sarı' stands alone, while Chinese ('黄色' - huángsè) connects to the historical and cultural significance of yellow in China.
