Krizët

Krizët is the Albanian definite plural form of the noun krizë, meaning crises. It refers to multiple turning points or critical situations in which normal conditions are disrupted and urgent responses are needed. The term is widely used in politics, economics, health, and humanitarian contexts to describe periods of instability, danger, or rapid change.

In usage, krizët can describe both ongoing periods of difficulty and a class of events that require timely intervention. The singular form krizë is used for a single crisis, while krizët denotes more than one, or refers to crises in general. Common compounds include krizë ekonomike (economic crisis), krizë politike (political crisis), krizë shëndetësore (health crisis), and krizë humanitare (humanitarian crisis).

Krizët feature prominently in media, academic writing, and public discourse as a way to frame serious disruptions to governance, markets, public health, or social stability. They often prompt analyses of causes, consequences, and policy responses, as well as debates about resilience and crisis management.
