Agjentëve

Agjentëve is the genitive/dative plural form of the Albanian noun agjent, which translates to agent in English. The base term agjent refers to a person who acts on behalf of another, or who is employed to carry out tasks for an organization. The form agjentëve is used in sentences that express possession or a recipient/indirect object involving multiple agents, such as in phrases like “rroga e agjentëve të kompanisë” (the salaries of the company’s agents).

Origin and form: Agjent is a loanword in Albanian, reflecting its Western European roots. It derives from the same etymological family as the French agent and the Italian agente, with Albanian adaptations to fit its grammatical system. The plural genitive/dative ending -ëve marks the word as a definite, plural form used after prepositions and in possessive constructions.

Contexts and usage: In Albanian, agjentëve can refer to various kinds of agents across domains. In a corporate or commercial context, it can denote sales agents, representatives, or intermediaries. In law enforcement or intelligence discussions, it can mean agents or operatives. The term also appears in travel, insurance, real estate, and other service sectors to designate people who act on behalf of an organization.

Notes: While agjentët (nominative plural) is the common form for “the agents,” agjentëve is specifically the genitive/dative plural form used when indicating belonging to agents or when using the indirect object or prepositional constructions. The word remains widely used in both formal and informal Albanian to describe roles that involve acting on behalf of others.
