Qëllim

Qëllim is a noun in the Albanian language that denotes a goal, an aim, or a purpose. It refers to the desired outcome of an action or plan and is used across everyday language, education, business, and public discourse to describe what someone intends to achieve.

Linguistic note: qëllim is masculine. The definite form is qëllimi, and the plural forms are qëllime (indefinite) and qëllimet (definite). In combinations, it often appears with adjectives like qartë to mean a clear aim, for example, qëllimi i qartë, or with verbs and expressions that convey intention, such as të arrijë një qëllim or ka një qëllim.

Usage: In personal life, people refer to a qëllim for the year, career, or education. In organizations, qëllimet strategjike or qëllime të projektit are used to define targets and criteria for evaluation. In philosophy or rhetoric, qëllim can denote the endpoint or purpose of an action, sometimes discussed alongside methods or means (mjetet) by which that endpoint is pursued.

See also: synim, objektiv. These terms are related and are often used interchangeably in everyday language, though they can carry slightly different nuances in formal or specialized contexts.
