dritës

Dritës is a term in Albanian that denotes brightness or luminous quality. It is derived from the noun dritë, meaning light, and is used to describe things that are bright, well lit, or radiant. In addition to its literal sense, dritës is commonly employed in literature and everyday speech as a metaphor for guidance, hope, or insight, similar to the idea of a beacon.

As an adjective, dritës can modify nouns to convey the attribute of brightness, such as a dritës landscape or a dritës room. In poetic and figurative usage, it may refer to inner illumination or spiritual clarity, extending beyond physical light to convey warmth, revelation, or inspiration.

In some contexts, dritës may appear as a noun referring to a light source or beacon, though the standard noun for light remains dritë. The form also occurs in proper names and expressions within Albanian-speaking communities, reflecting the central predicate of light in cultural and linguistic contexts.
