Sistemëve

Sistemëve is the oblique plural form of the Albanian noun sistemi, used to indicate genitive or dative relations with the noun in the plural. In practice, it appears in phrases where multiple systems are described as belonging to, or connected with, another element, or when the systems are the indirect object of a verb or preposition. For example, it can appear in contexts like “sistemëve të informacionit” (information systems) or “administrimi i sistemëve të menaxhimit” (the administration of management systems). The form thereby functions to express relations such as possession, association, or destination for more than one system.

Etymology and meaning

The Albanian term sistemi derives from the Latin systema, through historical contact with other European languages. Sistemëve inherits its meaning as the plural of system, with the oblique ending signaling grammatical relations rather than a standalone semantic shift. Thus, sistemëve retains the core sense of “systems” while adapting to syntactic needs in sentences.

Usage and context

Sistemëve appears primarily in technical, scientific, and administrative discourse, where precise relational meaning is required. It is part of a broader set of inflected forms for the noun sistemi, which also includes forms like sistemi (the system), sistemet (the systems, definite plural), and sistemet/ sitemet in other cases. By using sistemëve, speakers mark the relevant grammatical connection to other elements in the sentence without altering the basic concept of multiple systems.
