dëmtim

Dëmtim is an Albanian noun meaning damage or injury, the harm that results from an adverse event. It can refer to harm to people, to property, or to systems such as infrastructure or ecosystems. The term is used across medical, legal, and technical contexts to describe adverse effects that affect functioning or value.

It is formed from dëm, "harm," plus the suffix -tim, which creates nouns that denote a state or result. This pattern is common in Albanian for words describing negative outcomes.

In medical and emergency care, dëmtim trupor denotes bodily injury from accidents or trauma. Assessment classifies severity and may guide treatment, rehabilitation, and monitoring for complications.

In property and engineering contexts, dëmtim i pronës or dëmtim teknik refers to damage to structures, equipment, or environments. Evaluation focuses on the extent of impairment, safety, and costs for repair or replacement, sometimes influenced by depreciation and insurance coverage.

In civil and insurance law, damages may be pursued for compensation. Distinctions are often drawn between material or property damage and personal injury, with procedures for assessment, liability determination, and reimbursement.
