administrativë

Administrativë is a term in Albanian describing things related to administration. As an adjective, it denotes activities, structures, or documents connected with the organization and management of institutions, government agencies, or companies. In public administration and law, administrativë distinguishes administrative functions from legislative or judicial ones and is used to label procedures, acts, and units within authorities that carry out day-to-day governance and service delivery. The word is derived from Latin administrativus and entered Albanian through Romance languages, with cognates in other languages such as English administrative and French administratif.

In practice, administrativë appears in official language and discourse to refer to administrative procedures, administrative acts, and administrative divisions or departments, depending on context. The concept reflects the broader field of administrative science, which studies how public administration is organized, how decisions are made, and how agencies are held accountable. While the term is primarily used in Albanian-language contexts, it aligns with international concepts of public administration, civil service, and bureaucratic governance.

Notes: The diacritic ë is a distinct Albanian letter pronounced as a mid-back rounded vowel in many dialects.
