Përdorues

Përdorues is an Albanian noun that denotes a person who uses a product, service, or device. In common usage it is translated into English as "user."

The masculine form is përdorues, the feminine form is përdoruesja; plural forms exist according to standard Albanian grammar.

Etymology: Përdorues is formed from the verb përdor (to use) with the agentive suffix -ues, which creates nouns that describe someone who performs an action. This pattern is common in Albanian and yields terms such as përdorues (one who uses) and related forms.

Usage and contexts: The word is widely used in everyday language and technical registers alike. In technology, përdorues refers to a person who uses a software, website, or information system. It distinguishes the user from other roles, such as administrator or developer, and is often paired with phrases like përdoruesi i fundit (the end user) or përdoruesi i sistemit (the system user). In consumer contexts, it can describe a customer or participant who engages with a product or service.
