Specifikuar

Specifikuar is an Albanian term that functions as the past participle of the verb specifikoj (to specify) and as an adjective meaning "specified." It is used to describe things that have been defined, named, or identified within a particular context. As a participle, it agrees with the noun it describes in gender and number, with common forms such as rasti specifikuar (the specified case) and fushat specifikuara (the specified fields).

Etymology and related forms: Specifikuar derives from the Albanian verb specifikoj, which in turn has its roots in the Latin word specificus, via European Romance languages such as Italian or English. The broader family includes specifik (specific) as an adjective and specifikoj (to specify) as the verb, with specifikuar serving as the past participle used in descriptive and technical language.

Usage: The term is most common in formal, technical, legal, or administrative contexts where items must be named or defined explicitly. It often appears in phrases that identify requirements, conditions, or data that have been explicitly provided. Examples include “faktet specifikuara në raport” (the specified facts in the report) and “kushtet specifikuara duhen plotësuar” (the specified conditions must be fulfilled). In narrative or procedural texts, it can anchor references to previously stated definitions or criteria.

Overall, specifikuar is a versatile term used to mark explicit definition or naming of elements within discourse, reflecting its function as a bridge between specification and description.
