Emërtimeve

Emërtimeve is an Albanian linguistic term referring to multiple designations or names. It is the plural form related to the noun emërtime, which denotes naming, designation, or the set of names assigned to things, places, or concepts. The form emërtimeve is encountered in contexts where several such designations are being referenced or discussed.

Etymology and meaning: The base emër means “name” in Albanian, and the suffix -time forms abstract nouns related to naming or designation. Emërtime thus refers to designations or names as a category, while emërtimeve marks the plural usage in contexts that require a plural, such as lists, discussions of multiple names, or categorical inventories.

Grammatical usage: Emërtimeve appears in formal or normative Albanian when multiple designations are involved. It is commonly found in written language, including dictionaries, catalogs, toponymic discussions, and scholarly writing about naming conventions. The exact case or prepositional usage depends on the sentence, but emërtimeve functions as a plural noun in discourse about names or designations.

Context and relation to related terms: Emërtimeve is closely related to emërtime (the general concept of naming or designation) and to other Albanian terms for naming, such as emërtim and emërim. While emërtimeve focuses on the plural, emërtime (and its variants) can reference a single designation or the broader practice of naming.
