Nënshkruara

Nënshkruara is the feminine plural past participle of the Albanian verb nënshkruaj, which means to sign. It is used as an adjective to describe items that have been signed, most commonly documents, agreements, contracts, or other official instruments. The form agrees with feminine plural nouns, for example, marrëveshjet nënshkruara or kontratat nënshkruara.

Etymology and grammar: The term combines the prefix nën- (under) with shkruaj (to write), reflecting a historical sense of signing beneath or under something. As a past participle, nënshkruara functions to indicate completion of the signing action and must agree in gender and number with the noun it modifies. The masculine singular form is nënshkruar, while the feminine plural form is nënshkruara.

Usage: Nënshkruara appears frequently in legal, administrative, and governmental language. It is commonly found in news reports, official statements, and archival records to denote that a document or agreement has been formally signed by the parties involved. For example, “Marrëveshjet nënshkruara nga të gjitha palët u publikuan sot” signals that the signed agreements have been published. Similarly, “kontratat nënshkruara duhet të depozitohen” refers to the signed contracts that must be deposited.
