Agjenti

Agjenti is the definite singular form of the Albanian noun agjent, meaning "the agent." It refers to a person who acts on behalf of another person or organization, and it is used across domains such as law enforcement, intelligence, diplomacy, business, and media. The indefinite singular is agjent, while the plural forms are agjentë (indefinite) and agjentët (definite).

The term is a loanword from Romance languages, likely from Italian agente or French agent, ultimately deriving from Latin agens, meaning "doing" or "acting." Albanian phonology renders the word with the j representing the 'y' sound.

In modern usage, agjenti appears in phrases that specify the agent’s role, for example agjenti i policisë (police agent) or agjenti sekret (secret agent). The word can also be used more broadly to describe someone who acts on behalf of an organization in negotiations or operations.

Agjenti is distinct from related terms such as agjent (the indefinite singular form), agjenci (agency), and shërbim sekret (secret service). It functions as a common noun in both formal and informal contexts and is regularly found in legal, administrative, and journalistic language.
