Pronunciation

Verb

enverdir (first-person singular present enverdeixo, first-person singular preterite enverdí, past participle enverdit)

  1. (transitive) to make green
    • 1972, Lluís Marcó i Dachs, Bon dia, terra:
      Durant els primers milers de milions d'anys, la Terra seguia el seu camí per l'espai sense que un sol bri d'herba enverdís el seu paisatge, sense que un ocell tracés la gràcia del seu vol o interrompés el gran silenci còsmic, alterat només pels trons i la remor de l'aigua, amb la bellesa del seu cant.
      For the first thousands of millions of years, Earth followed her path through space without a single bit of herbage greening her landscape, without a single bird gracefully tracing its flight or interrupting the great cosmic silence, altered only by thunder and the murmur of the sea, with the beauty of her song.
  2. (pronominal, intransitive) to become green
    • 1924, Ramon Sala, La fructicultura extensiva a California:
      Igualment a Califòrnia, una taronja que es mantingui sense collir, a l'arbre, després d'ésser madura i agafar la normal color groga, amb el temps tendeix a enverdir-se.
      In the same way in California, an orange which remains on the tree without being harvested after being ripe and getting the normal yellow colour with time tends to turn green.
