Meaning

Cadaan means white. Like cagaar it starts with the throat sound c, and it has a long aa in the second syllable. Cad on its own means white or bright, and caddaan is also used for people of European descent, so this is another word with a life beyond colours.

Example sentences

Caanuhu waa cadaan.The milk is white.
Shaatigaygu waa cadaan.My shirt is white.
