Kërkuara

Kërkuara is an Albanian term that functions as an adjective and a past participle derived from the verb kërkoj, meaning to seek, to request, or to demand. In general use, it denotes that something has been requested or is in demand, and it can describe objects, actions, or people depending on the context.

Grammatically, këshkuara is the feminine form of the participle; the language also uses masculine and plural forms such as i kërkuar (masculine singular) and të kërkuara (plural or feminine contexts) to agree with the noun it modifies. Because Albanian adjectives agree with gender and number, the exact form of the word shifts to match the noun it describes.

Usage and contexts: the word appears across everyday speech and formal contexts. In law enforcement and media, a common construction is the phrase for a wanted person, such as një person i kërkuar nga policia (a person wanted by the police). In commerce or public discourse, kërckuara can describe goods, information, or procedures that have been requested or are in high demand, for example produkte të kërkuara nga konsumatorët (products demanded by consumers).

See also: i kërkuar, e kërkuar, të kërkuara, kërkesa, kërkoj.

Notes: as with many Albanian participles, the exact ending of kërkuara adapts to the gender and number of the noun it modifies. The core meaning remains tied to seeking, requesting, or being in demand.
