Kampionatet

Kampionatet is a term primarily used in Albanian to refer to championships, the organized competitions through which champions are determined in a given sport or discipline. It denotes the plural form of kampionat and is commonly translated as “the championships” in English.

In Albanian-language usage, kampionatet can refer to national championships within a sport (such as football, basketball, or athletics), regional championships, or multi-sport events that crown champions. The term is used by media, sports federations, and participants when discussing the season as a whole or when referring to multiple separate championships occurring in the same period.

The concept of kampionatet is not limited to a single sport or country; it encompasses a wide range of competitive settings where a series of events or matches determines a champion. It can also appear in other competitive domains—such as chess, programming, or academic contests—where distinct national or international championships exist.

Etymology and form: kampionatet comes from kampion (champion) with Albanian suffixes that form the definite plural. The related singular form kampionati means “the championship.” The term reflects Albanian morphological patterns for creating definite plural nouns and is used in formal and media contexts to describe multiple championship events.
