Bioligjike

Bioligjike is a nonstandard spelling that is commonly a misspelling of the Albanian word biologjike. The correct form is biologjike, an adjective meaning biological or relating to biology and to living organisms. It is used in science, education, medicine, and everyday language to describe things connected with biology, such as biologjike studime (biological studies) or procese biologjike (biological processes).

Etymology and form: The adjective biologjike derives from the noun biologji (biology) in Albanian. The word biologji itself comes from the combination of the Greek roots bios (life) and logia (study or discourse), which were adapted into Albanian as biologji, with the suffix -jik(e/-ke) forming adjectives. The standard spelling in Albanian is biologjike, with the o after l.

Usage notes: In Albanian, biologjike agrees with the gender and number of the noun it modifies, as in fushat biologjike (biological fields) or proceset biologjike (biological processes). The related noun biologji and the noun phrase "fusha biologjike" illustrate typical usage. It is distinct from general terms for life sciences but commonly appears in contexts describing research, data, or concepts that pertain to biology.
