Nevojshme

Nevojshme is an Albanian adjective meaning necessary, required, or essential. It is used to describe things that must be present or done in a given situation, such as actions, conditions, or objects that are needed to achieve a goal or to comply with requirements. The word reflects the idea of necessity and is commonly found in both formal and everyday language.

Etymology and form: nevojshme is derived from nevojë, the noun for need or necessity, with the suffix -shme forming an adjective. The form of the word changes to agree with the gender and number of the noun it modifies. In practice, it is paired with feminine nouns as e nevojshme and with masculine nouns as i nevojshëm, while the phrase remains flexible in sentences describing necessity.

Usage notes: In Albanian, nevojshme is often used with verbs and clauses to express obligation or requirement, for example, “Është e nevojshme të mbledhim të dhëna” (It is necessary to collect data). It can also appear in phrases like “hapat e nevojshëm” (the necessary steps). In many contexts, nevojshme conveys a sense of practical or formal necessity, overlapping with similar terms such as domosdoshëm, which also means essential or obligatory but with a slightly different stylistic nuance.
