Pjese

Pjese is the ASCII rendering of the Albanian noun pjesë, meaning part, portion, component, or share. It denotes a piece of a whole, a segment of a larger object, or a proportion of a quantity. In everyday language it appears in phrases such as pjesë e trupit (part of the body), pjesë nga një plan (part of a plan), and pjesë e fitimit (share of the profit). It is also used in technical contexts to describe components of engines, machines, or systems.

In Albanian orthography, the standard spelling is pjesë, with the diacritic ë. When diacritics are omitted, the word commonly appears as pjese. The definite form is pjesa, and the word inflects for number and definiteness in line with other Albanian nouns. The term is widely used across dialects and registers, from everyday speech to formal writing.

Semantics and usage: pjesë covers both concrete parts of physical objects and abstract divisions or shares, such as portions of a plan, sections of a document, or portions of a budget. It can also convey a role or function within a larger context, for example in expressions about one’s role in a project or organization.
