Termikë

Termikë is an Albanian term used to denote anything related to heat or thermal energy. In scientific and engineering contexts, termikë refers to thermal phenomena, properties, and devices. The term derives from the Greek therm- and has entered Albanian technical vocabulary through European languages, with termik or termike appearing in inflected forms such as termikë.

In physics and engineering, termikë describes heat-related processes and characteristics, including heat transfer by conduction, convection, and radiation, as well as thermal energy and temperature changes. Materials are described by their termik properties, such as thermal conductivity, specific heat capacity, and thermal inertia. In construction and industry, termikë is used in expressions about insulation, temperature regulation, and the efficiency of thermal systems.

Termikë is primarily a technical term; outside of higher education and professional literature it is less common in everyday speech. It features in textbooks, standards, and specifications and is used to convey precise meanings in Albanian discourse on energy, engineering, and the built environment.
