Dhomën

Dhomën is a term primarily used in Albanian to refer to a room, typically within a dwelling or building. It encompasses any distinct space enclosed by walls, floors, and a ceiling. The specific function of a dhomën can vary greatly, ranging from living spaces like bedrooms (dhomë gjumi) or living rooms (dhomë ndenje), to functional areas such as kitchens (kuzhinë, though sometimes referred to as dhomë gatimi) or bathrooms (banjë, also sometimes dhomë larje).

The size and features of a dhomën are dependent on its purpose and the overall structure of the building. Larger residences might have multiple dhomën, each serving a specific role in daily life. In more formal contexts, "dhomën" can also refer to a chamber or a council room. The word's etymology traces back to Latin "camera," meaning chamber or room. Understanding "dhomën" is fundamental to comprehending architectural descriptions and spatial arrangements in Albanian.
