aktore

Aktore is an Albanian noun meaning a female actor, i.e., an actress. It is the feminine form of the occupation name for someone who acts in theatre, film, or television. The masculine equivalent is aktor. Albanian marks gender in occupational nouns; aktore is used when referring to a female performer in general or to a specific actress in Albanian-language contexts. The term is common in Albania and Kosovo and among Albanian-speaking communities. Etymology traces to shared Indo-European roots with other European words for actor, such as Italian attore and English actor, reflecting long-standing cross-language development of the profession name. In modern usage, aktore appears in news reports, reviews, bios, and formal writing about performing arts.
