Gjërat

Gjërat is a noun in Albanian meaning "things" or "matters." It is the definite plural form of gjë, the general word for "thing." The standard bare plural form is gjëra, while gjërat marks the definite plural, used when referring to a specific set of things. The term thus covers both tangible objects and abstract matters, depending on context.

In everyday language, gjërat is a versatile referent. It can denote physical objects (for example, items you might find on a table) or topics and issues (for example, the things that interest you). It can be modified by adjectives, such as "gjërat e ndryshme" (various things) or "gjërat thelbësore" (essential things). It is also common in phrases like "të gjitha gjërat" (all the things) and "gjërat që ndodhin" (the things that happen).
