Konkurrues

Konkurrues is an Albanian term that functions as both a noun and an adjective. As a noun, konkurrues denotes a person or entity that competes in a contest, race, election, or market rivalry—a competitor or contestant. In sports, business, media, or politics, a konkurrues is someone who takes part in competition. As an adjective, konkurrues describes something related to competition or characterized by rivalry, for example, a "treg konkurrues" (a competitive market) or a "mjedis konkurrues" (a competitive environment).

Etymology and usage are typical of Albanian word formation. The base comes from konkurrencë, meaning competition, and the suffix -ues, which is used to form agent nouns and adjectives. The term thus covers both the actor (the one who competes) and attributes related to competition.

In formal Albanian writing, the word is used across fields such as sports, politics, and economics to identify participants in competition or to characterize competitive conditions. Grammatical forms vary with standard Albanian grammar, including definite and gendered forms (for example, usage in phrases like “konkurruesi” for “the competitor” and related forms for plurals and feminine references). The term is commonly understood in contexts where rivalry, contest, or market competition is involved.
