Kapitaleve

Kapitaleve is a term that appears in Albanian-language texts as an inflected form of the noun kapital. The base sense of kapital can refer to financial capital (wealth or assets) or to capital in the sense of a city that serves as a seat of government. Kapitaleve is not a separate concept; it is a grammatical variant used in sentences that refer to multiple capitals or to capital resources within a clause.

Etymology and form: Kapital derives from Latin capitalis, through Italian capitale, and has cognates in many European languages. In Albanian, the word has corresponding plural forms and inflected variants, among which kapitaleve may occur in certain syntactic positions or constructions that require inflection.

Usage: In economic writing, kapitale refers to funds, capital stock, or investment capital. In geographic or political contexts, kapitaleve may appear when discussing more than one capital or when a prepositional phrase requires an inflected form. The standard Albanian term for “capital city” is kryeqytet; the definite plural form is kryeqytetet, and it is used in most contemporary texts. Kapitaleve, by contrast, tends to appear in older or more formal prose or in specific grammatical constructions that connect to capital-related concepts.
