Njësie

Njësie is an Albanian noun meaning "unit." It denotes a single component that forms part of a larger whole and is used in mathematics, science, and everyday language to describe a standard quantity, a unit of measure, or an organizational or military formation. The word reflects the notion of one or unity and is cognate with related terms in many languages.

In metrology, njësie refers to a standard unit of measurement. In the International System of Units (SI), examples include the metre, kilogram, second, ampere, kelvin, mole, and candela. These base and derived units provide a coherent framework for expressing physical quantities and comparing magnitudes across different contexts.

Beyond measurement, njësie also designates a group or division within an organization or armed forces, such as a military unit (for example a battalion or company) or a police unit. The term thus covers both quantitative standards and organizational structures, depending on the context.

In mathematical and logical usage, the concept of a unit appears as a single, well-defined quantity or object that serves as a reference point within a larger system. The word can be used adjectivally to describe quantities per unit of measure or per group, reinforcing its role as a fundamental building block in description and analysis.
