Grupi

Grupi is an Albanian noun meaning “the group.” It is the definite singular form of the base noun grup, which refers to a collection of individuals or things considered as a single unit. The term is used across a wide range of contexts—from everyday conversation to formal writing—to denote a set of people, objects, or ideas that function together.

In Albanian grammar, the definite form is created by adding a suffix to the noun, and grupi is the standard definite singular for masculine, consonant-final roots such as grup. As a result, grupe, grupet, or other forms may appear in different syntactic environments, depending on number and case, but grupi consistently marks a specific, identified group.

Grupi is commonly employed to describe organized bodies and social units, including work teams, committees, musical ensembles, study cohorts, and other collective entities. It also appears in sociological or organizational writing to refer to a set of people or objects under consideration. In everyday speech, speakers may use grupi to talk about both formal groups and informal collectives, making it a versatile term in the Albanian lexicon.

Examples illustrate its typical usage: Grupi i studentëve po merr pjesë në diskutim; Grupi muzikor performoi mbrëmjen e kaluar. These constructions show grupi functioning as a definite unit within a larger sentence, linking the idea of togetherness with a specific, identifiable group. See also grup, the base form.
