Përhershme

Përhershme is an Albanian adjective meaning lasting, permanent, or enduring. It describes something that persists over time rather than being temporary or transient. The term is used across various domains, including everyday language, science, law, and culture, to characterize conditions, relationships, or phenomena that remain stable for extended periods.

Etymology and forms: the base adjective is përhershëm (masculine). The feminine singular form is përhershme, and the forms agree with the gender and number of the noun they modify. In usage, the concept conveys long-term persistence rather than occasional repetition.

Usage and examples:

- një lidhje përhershme (a lasting relationship)

- një qëndrim përhershëm (a permanent residence)

- një çështje përhershme në politikat publike (a persistent issue in public policy)

- kushtë të përhershme të një zgjidhjeje (enduring conditions of a solution)

Nuances: përhershme implies durability and continuity, but it does not necessarily mean absolute permanence, as contexts can change or evolve. It is distinct from terms like përkohshëm (temporary) or të ndryshueshme (varying). In some fields, such as environmental science, ekonomia, ose jurisprudenca, përhershme helps distinguish long-term trends or statuses from short-term states.

Related forms: përhershëm (masculine), përhershme (feminine), and the adverbial derivative përhershëm, which conveys the sense of with consistency or regularly over time.
