Përmbushim

Përmbushim is an Albanian noun that denotes the act or state of fulfilling a requirement, goal, or desire. It conveys the sense of bringing something to completion or satisfying a need, whether practical, moral, or emotional. The term is formed from the verb përmbush (to fulfill) with the nominal suffix -im, yielding a word that can function as the subject or object in a sentence. In everyday language the related noun përmbushje or përmbushja is more common for the general idea of fulfillment, while përmbushim appears in more formal, literary, or specialized constructions.

Usage and sense

Përmbushim is used to describe both the process of fulfilling and its result. It can apply to personal aims (fulfillment of aspirations), duties (fulfillment of obligations), or needs (emotional or social fulfillment). In academic or reflective writing, it may be employed to discuss the sense of purpose or satisfaction that arises when expectations are met. In business or organizational contexts, it can refer to the completion of tasks or the attainment of milestones that meet predefined criteria.

Relationship to related terms

The concept of përmbushim is closely related to plotësim (completion or adequacy) and përmbushje (fulfillment or satisfaction). While plotësim emphasizes meeting standards or requirements, and përmbushje stresses the state of being fulfilled, përmbushim foregrounds the act or process of fulfilling itself. The choice among these terms can reflect nuance in emphasis or register.

Notes

Përmbushim is valid in formal Albanian and among speakers who distinguish related nominal forms such as përmbushje and përmbushja.
