Urdhërim

Urdhërim is a term used in Albanian language that can translate to several concepts depending on the context, most commonly meaning "order" or "command". It refers to a directive or instruction given by someone in authority to someone else. This authority can be formal, such as a military officer issuing an order to a subordinate, or informal, such as a parent instructing a child. The word implies a sense of obligation for the recipient to comply.

In a legal or administrative context, an urdhërim can be a formal decree or ruling issued by a court or a government body. These are official pronouncements that carry legal weight and must be followed. The term can also be used to describe a general instruction or guideline that sets out a particular way of doing something.

Beyond literal commands, urdhërim can also carry a sense of purpose or mission. For instance, someone might say they are acting on an "urdhërim" from their conscience, meaning they are driven by a strong internal sense of what is right. The etymology of the word suggests a connection to the idea of setting things in order or establishing a structure. It is a versatile word that reflects the way authority and direction are communicated in Albanian.
