Shkruara

Shkruara is an Albanian term meaning "written." It functions in grammar as a past participle form of the verb shkruaj (to write) and as an adjective meaning "written" when describing something that has been produced in writing. In Albanian, past participles commonly serve as adjectives and can modify nouns to indicate a written state or product, as opposed to something that is spoken or oral.

The form shkruara is associated with feminine usage, aligning with the gender and number of the noun it modifies. It is part of the broader system of participles in Albanian that articulate completed action or a resulting condition. While its exact inflection can vary with context, shkruara is understood in standard Albanian as the feminine-singular past participle of shkruaj.

Usage notes emphasize that shkruara helps distinguish written works or documents from oral or informal forms. It appears in literature, journalism, law, and education to describe texts, letters, manuscripts, and other material that exists in written form. As with other Albanian adjectives, its placement relative to the noun can follow typical noun-adjective order, and it agrees with the noun it describes in gender and number.
