Studimeve

Studimeve is an Albanian term that refers to studies in a broad sense, including both organized learning within educational programs and scholarly investigations. In common usage, it denotes the body of academic work that leads to knowledge in a particular field, the process of studying, or the set of research projects conducted within an institution. The form studimeve is typically the genitive plural form of studim and is used with the definite article in constructions such as rezultatet e studimeve (the results of the studies) or dokumentet e studimeve (the documents of the studies).

Etymology and linguistic notes: studim, the base noun meaning study or research, derives from Latin studium and has cognates in many Romance and Germanic languages. In Albanian, studime and studimet appear in different grammatical roles, while studimeve specifically operates in possessive or relational phrases, as seen in the common expression e studimeve meaning of the studies.

Contexts and usage: In education, studimet refer to university or higher education programs, the curriculum of study for a degree, or the collective courses pursued by students. In research, the term is used to describe investigations, surveys, and analyses that contribute to knowledge in a field. Distinctions are often made with the related term studimi, which denotes the act of studying or a single study, whereas studimet (and its forms like studimeve) emphasize the set of studies or the studies conducted as a unit.
