Përshtatur

Përshtatur is an Albanian term functioning as the past participle of the verb përshtat, meaning to adapt, adjust, or tailor something to fit a particular purpose, audience, or context. In usage, përshtatur describes something that has been modified or customized for a specific use or environment.

As an adjective or participle, përshtatur can modify nouns to indicate a completed adjustment. For example, one might say that a book has been përshtatur për fëmijë (adapted for children) or that software has been përshtatur për përdorim të lehtë. The form is often found in passive constructions, such as programs or materials that have been adapted for a new setting.

Përshtatur is closely related to the noun përshtatje, which refers to the process or act of adaptation or adjustment, and to adjectives like përshtatshëm, meaning suitable or appropriate. The term emphasizes the result of the adaptation—the object or content that now better fits a given requirement or context—rather than the act itself.

In discourse, përshtatur appears across contexts such as education, media localization, product design, and software development, where content and tools are routinely modified to meet local needs or preferences. The concept underscores tailoring rather than generic universality, highlighting a fit between the item and its intended use.
