Krijuese

Krijuese is a term in the Albanian language used to denote a female creator, inventor, author, or originator. It is the feminine form of krijues, which means “creator” or “originator,” and is formed from the verb krijo, meaning “to create,” with the agentive suffix -ues.

Usage and meaning: The word is used when gender is relevant or when identifying a woman who creates or originates works, ideas, or solutions. It can refer to artists, designers, writers, developers, or anyone who conceives and brings something into existence. In neutral contexts, krijues may be used as a gender-neutral counterpart, while krijuese explicitly marks the female gender. Phrases include krijuese e një veprës (the female creator of a work) or krijuese e një projekti (the female creator of a project).

Grammar notes: Albanian distinguishes masculine and feminine agent nouns, with krijues as the masculine form and krijuese as the feminine form. The definite forms of these nouns follow standard Albanian noun morphology, for example krijuesi (the male creator) and krijueseja or krijuese (the female creator) depending on dialect and stylistic choice.

Context and usage: Krijuese appears in biographies, interviews, academic writing, and media when highlighting a woman’s role in creation or innovation. It emphasizes agency and authorship in fields such as art, technology, literature, and science.
