Could you maybe show at least the whole line? Use code tags when posting it, thanks.

Moderator's Comments:
Mod Comment I asked for code tags and by signing up in the forum you accepted to use them. Ignoring this constantly will gain you infraction Points.

The : are just separators. The values in between are paths, as the name of the variable PATH says.
The . is the current directory.
Exporting this will allow to call executable files from your current working directory.

Check this too:
Why is it Bad Idea to insert "." (Dot) to PATH ?
