Titujve

Titujve is the genitive/dative plural form of the Albanian noun titull, meaning “title.” In Albanian, titull refers to a label or designation used for a work (such as a book, article, film) or to an official or academic designation. The form titujve appears in oblique cases, especially after prepositions, to express “of the titles” or “to the titles.”

Morphology and related forms in Albanian include several common plural and definite forms. The indefinite plural is tituj; the definite plural is titujt (the titles). The oblique/genitive/dative plural is titujve, which is used after prepositions or in phrases that show possession or relation, for example: titujve të librave (the titles of the books) or në mesin e titujve (among the titles).

Usage and semantics. Titujve is primarily a grammatical form, not a separate lexical item; it appears in contexts involving possession, description, or relational phrasing of titles. It is used across bibliographic, literary, and academic language when referring to multiple titles in a non-nominative role, or when the preposition requires an oblique case. The base noun titull also covers the sense of a person’s formal or professional title, and in such cases its plural forms follow the same pattern (tituj për tituj të akademikëve, etc.), though many contexts use the singular forms for a single title and the appropriate definite form when specificity is needed.

Etymology. titull originates from Latin titulus and has been integrated into Albanian through historical contact with Italian and neighboring languages.
