A Class 6 Spell Bee Summer word · All Class 6 words · Free Class 6 sample paper


What does yolk mean?

Word: Yolk

Part of Speech: Noun

Meaning: Yolk means the round yellow part in the middle of an egg.

Sounds like: yoke (a wooden bar fixed across the necks of two oxen so they pull together)

How do you spell yolk?

Syllables: yolk

Tricky part: The l is silent, so students leave it out (yok, yoak) or write ck at the end. It is spelt like folk.

Watch out for: yoak, yolck, yok

Memory tip: Yolk and yellow both have an l. Say 'yellow yolk' and keep the l, even though you do not hear it in yolk.

Yolk in a sentence

Example 1: Riya likes her fried egg with a runny yolk.

Example 2: The cake recipe needs only the yolks, not the whites.
