Bimëve

Bimëve is a grammatical form in Albanian, specifically the dative/genitive plural form of the noun bimë, which means plant. In ordinary English, bimëve does not stand alone as a common lexical item; it appears as a case form used to refer to multiple plants in certain grammatical contexts.

In Albanian, nouns change form to indicate number, case, and gender. The form bimëve marks the plural and a dative or genitive function, so it is used with prepositions and in constructions where the relationship of the plant group to another element is being expressed, such as possession, indirect objects, or objects of prepositions that require a dative/genitive reading. The exact surface form helps signal that the reference is to several plants rather than one.

Usage and examples:

- nga bimëve të pyllit, meaning “from the forest’s plants” or “from the plants of the forest.”

- bimëve të ndryshme, meaning “to/for various plants” or more generally “of various plants” in a possessive or descriptive sense.

- in phrases that describe relationships involving multiple plants, bimëve serves to connect the noun to adjectives or other nouns in the dative/genitive sense.

Because bimëve is a grammatical form rather than an independent lexical item, its meaning depends on the surrounding words and prepositions. See also Albanian grammar, noun declension, and the noun bimë for the base meaning.
