Korrigimi

Korrigimi is the Albanian noun for the act of correcting something or the result of that act, a correction, amendment, or rectification. It denotes changes made to fix errors, improve accuracy, or bring something into alignment with standards or expectations. The term is used across multiple domains to refer to such adjustments.

In education and publishing, korrigimi commonly describes the process of correcting exams, assignments, or manuscripts, as well as the written corrections added to a draft during proofreading. In editing, the term signals changes made to correct grammar, spelling, punctuation, or factual information before final release.

In administrative, legal, or data contexts, korrigimi can refer to updates or amendments to records, forms, or datasets. It may involve documenting the reason for the change and the date of modification, especially when accuracy and traceability are important. In some cases, korrigimi appears in corrigenda or errata associated with official documents or publications.

Linguistically, korrigimi is formed from the verb korrigjoj (to correct) with the noun-forming suffix -imi, a common pattern in Albanian for action or result nouns. The term reflects the language’s adaptation of concepts related to correction, often aligning with terms borrowed or influenced by Romance languages through historical contact.

Related terms include rregullim (rectification or adjustment) and korrigues (the corrector). Korrigimi remains a general, neutral descriptor used in both formal and informal Albanian to denote corrections and amendments.
