Pjesës

Pjesës is an Albanian term that appears as a morphological variant of the noun pjesë, which means “part” or “portion.” It is primarily of interest in discussions of Albanian morphology and syntax, where it is encountered as an inflected form used in certain grammatical contexts or dialectal varieties. In contemporary standard Albanian, the most common definite form of the base noun is pjesa, and relational or possessive meanings are typically expressed with prepositions rather than a distinct genitive or inflected form like pjesës. As a result, pjesës is more often noted in linguistic descriptions of older texts, regional speech, or formal/poetic registers.

In linguistic usage, pjesës can be cited as an example of how Albanian nouns inflect or appear in non-dominant forms across dialects. Its appearance highlights broader patterns in Albanian morphology, where definiteness and relational meaning are frequently marked through suffixal changes, prepositions, or periphrastic constructions rather than a fixed set of case endings. Because the form is not widely used in everyday modern prose, it is mainly encountered in grammars, philological studies, and discussions of Albanian historical text.

The term is closely related to the base noun pjesë and to the general concept of dividing something into parts. For related language information, see also pjesë, which covers the standard usage and meaning of the common noun. See also: pjesë.
