Lindjes

Lindjes is a term found in the Albanian language, typically appearing as the genitive singular form of the noun lindje, which denotes birth or origin. In standard usage, lindje refers to the event of being born as well as to a person’s or thing’s place of origin. The form lindjes is used after prepositions to express possession or relation, most commonly after the definite article, as in certifikata e lindjes (birth certificate) and data e lindjes (date of birth).

In Albanian grammar, lindje is the base noun, while lindjes functions as its genitive form. This form is widely encountered in official documents, records, and biographical contexts where a relationship to birth or origin must be stated. Other related expressions include vendlindja, meaning birthplace, which combines venda (place) with lindje to denote the place of birth.

Etymology and related forms: lindje derives from the verb lind- (to be born). The word is part of a broader set of terms connected with birth, origin, and emergence in Albanian vocabulary, and it appears in several common phrases that refer to birth data, origin, or birth-related records.

Other uses: outside Albanian grammatical usage, Lindjes may appear as a proper noun in unrelated contexts (such as surnames or place names in other languages). In standard Albanian, however, its primary role is as the genitive form of lindje used to indicate “of birth” or “of origin” in phrases describing birth-related information.
