Këshillave

Këshillave is the Albanian plural form of këshillë, a noun that primarily denotes advice, counsel, or a recommendation. The term is used when referring to more than one piece of guidance or to multiple recommendations given by a person, group, or source. In everyday language, këshilla is common for “advice,” while këshillave appears in oblique or plural contexts.

In contemporary Albanian, këshillave appears frequently in media, education, policy discussions, and professional writing to discuss guidelines, suggestions, or strategies proposed by experts or institutions. It can describe practical tips for a task, formal policy recommendations, or general guidelines issued by authorities or advisory bodies. The meaning remains close to “pieces of advice,” with nuance depending on how it is framed in a sentence.

Grammar and usage notes: këshillave is the oblique plural form of këshillë and tends to appear after prepositions or in constructions requiring a non-nominative noun form, such as në këshillave të ndryshme (“in various pieces of advice”) or nga këshillat e ekspertëve. The singular form is këshillë, and related terms include këshillë (singular advice) and këshilla (plural or colloquial variants in some contexts).

Etymology: këshillë originates in Albanian as the common word for advice or counsel and has evolved through historical contact with Latin and other languages, acquiring its current forms in modern Albanian.
