artikujt

Artikujt is the Albanian definite plural noun meaning "the articles." It derives from the noun artikull, which covers several related senses: a written piece such as a newspaper or magazine article, an item or entry in a list or catalog, and, in legal or formal language, a specific provision within a document. Artikujt is used when referring to more than one article that is identified or known in context (for example, in a law, “artikujt 3–5” would denote Articles 3 through 5).

Etymology and usage: Artikull comes from Latin articulus and Italian articolo, reflecting Romance influence on Albanian vocabulary. In modern Albanian, artikujt covers both journalistic articles and statutory or contractual sections as a general sense of "article," depending on context.

Domains: In journalism, artikujt refer to pieces published in newspapers, magazines, or online outlets. In law and administration, they identify numbered provisions within a statute, contract, or regulation. In reference works or encyclopedias, an artikull denotes an individual entry or article.

Related forms: The singular forms are artikull (indefinite) and artikulli (definite). The plural forms follow Albanian noun agreement patterns, with artikujt as the definite plural. The term is closely related to, but distinct from, the singular forms used for a single article.
