I was just wondering if you know which is the correct way to say this, (speaking of an egg, of course)...
Is it,...The yoke IS white,...or is it the yoke ARE white???

You mean the yolk of an egg (the egg white?)
It is an uncountable noun, so
The yolk is white.

The plural of yoke is 'yokes.'
Correct:
The yoke is white.
The yokes are white.
Oh, and a yoke is a devise you see on oxen, when they pull things. A yolk is the center part of an egg. Yolks are NOT white, btw--they are yellow. The white part is called albumen. 'Yolks' is plural for yolk. You can say, "The albumen part of an egg is white."

I think you meant yolk not yoke.
Yolks are yellow.
The yolk is yellow, or
The yolks are yellow.
Unless 'yoke' is a slang term for an animal or person...

If you're speaking of the contents of one egg, then it's "the yolk is". If more than one egg, then it's "the yolk are". Whether or not the color is actually white is another matter entirely.

It depends if yoke is plural or singular. Are you talking about one or more?
