Mirëfikuara

Mirëfikuara is an Albanian adjective meaning “well‑fitted” or “suitably adapted.” The word is composed of the prefix “mirë,” which means “good” or “fine,” and the past participle “fikuara,” derived from the verb “fiku,” meaning “to fit” or “to suit.” The adjective agrees in gender, number, and case with the noun it modifies: mirëfikuara (fem. sing.) versus mirëfikuar (masc. sing.) and mirëfikuara (fem. plural) versus mirëfikuarë (masc. plural).

In everyday Albanian, mirëfikuara is often used to describe clothing or attire, indicating that garments fit properly and comfortably: “Veshja ime është shumë mirëfikuara.” The term also appears in descriptions of furniture, architecture, or other objects that fit a particular space or purpose: “Kjo dhomë i është bërë parejnishta e mirëfikuara” (This room has been beautifully and well adapted).

Beyond literal usage, the adjective can function metaphorically, applying to plans, ideas, or actions that are deemed well suited to a situation: “Struktura e tejdhënies është mirëfikuara ndaj kërkesave të tregut.” The word thus signals compatibility and appropriateness in both tangible and abstract contexts.

Mirëfikuara reflects a broader Albanian cultural emphasis on precision, fit, and harmonious integration, values that are echoed in traditional tailoring customs and contemporary design practices.
