Perëndimor

Perëndimor is an Albanian term that means western. It is used primarily as an adjective to describe geographic direction, locations, or cultural and political associations tied to the West. In some contexts it can also function as a noun, referring to Western-oriented entities or to the Western world, depending on how it is used in a sentence.

Etymology and form: the word is built from perëndim, meaning west or sunset, combined with the suffix -or to form an adjective. Like other directional adjectives in Albanian, it agrees with the noun it modifies in gender and number.

Usage: in geography, perëndimor describes places situated toward the west, such as regions, districts, or segments of a city or country. In political or cultural discourse, it commonly denotes the Western world or Western-aligned viewpoints, as in phrases about Western policies, culture, or media. The term is neutral and descriptive rather than inherently evaluative, though its referent can carry different connotations depending on context.
