Shkëputje

Shkëputje is an Albanian noun that denotes the act or process of detaching, separating, or severing. It is formed from the verb shkëput, meaning to detach or disconnect. The term is used in a broad range of contexts to denote a break or disjunction between elements, states, or entities.

In everyday language, shkëputje commonly refers to the end of a relationship or the termination of a collaboration, for example the shkëputje e një lidhjeje apo e një bashkëpunimi. In technical and scientific contexts, it can describe the physical disconnection of parts, such as shkëputje të një kablloje or shkëputje të një pjese mekanike. In biology and medicine, the word may appear in phrases like shkëputje e indeve or shkëputje placente, indicating tissue detachment or similar processes. In law and business, it can denote severance or withdrawal of ties between parties, contracts, or corporate entities.

Shkëputje often carries a neutral or descriptive tone, suitable for both concrete and abstract uses. It can refer to observable breaks (a disconnected circuit) as well as relational or conceptual separations (shkëputje e besimit, shkëputje të marrëdhënieve). As a flexible term, it helps express gradual or abrupt changes and is common in formal and informative prose.
