Rrjedhjen

Rrjedhjen is a feminine Albanian noun that denotes the act or result of leaking, flowing out, or discharging. It is derived from the verb rrjedh, meaning to flow or to leak. The base noun rrjedhje means “flow” or “leak,” and rrjedhjen is the oblique or definite form used with prepositions or as an object (for example, rrjedhjen e ujit, rrjedhjen e gjakut).

Rrjedhjen is used across several domains. In everyday speech it can describe leaks in plumbing, containers, roofs, or other physical systems where liquid escapes. In medical language it can refer to discharge from a wound or from a body opening, or more broadly to any abnormal drainage. In discussions of information security or data management, the term can appear in contexts describing leakage of information or data, often with phrases like rrjedhjen e të dhënave.

Etymologically, the word forms a family around rrjedh, the verb “to flow/leak,” with the noun-forming suffix -je, producing rrjedhje (flow/leak) and its inflected rrjedhjen in oblique cases. The construction allows the term to pair with the preposition e to specify the object of leakage, as in rrjedhjen e ujit.

See also: rrjedhje, rrjedhja. The concept is common in technical, medical, and everyday Albanian vernacular, where precise description of leakage or discharge is needed.
