dëshirueshëm

Dëshirueshëm is an Albanian adjective meaning desiriable or worthy of desire. It is formed from the noun dëshirë (desire) with the adjectival suffix -uesh- and the masculine singular ending -ëm; the feminine form is dëshirueshme, and the form of the adjective changes to agree with the gender and number of the noun it modifies.

Usage and nuance: The term describes things, outcomes, or states that are attractive, advantageous, or worth pursuing. It is common in formal, evaluative, or descriptive writing, including policy discussions, marketing, and literary prose. Examples include phrases like një plan dëshirueshëm (a desirable plan) and një alternativë dëshirueshme (a desirable alternative). While the sense can in some contexts be extended to persons who desire something, this usage is less common; the adjective mostly modifies objects or states rather than people.

Relation to other terms: Dëshirëshe or dëshirë is the related noun meaning desire. Synonyms can include tërheqës (attractive) and preferueshme (preferable), depending on context. The word is typically found in more formal or evaluative registers than everyday speech.

Notes on form: Adjectives in Albanian agree with the noun in gender and number, so dëshirueshëm is used with masculine singular nouns, dëshirueshme with feminine singular nouns, and appropriate plural forms for other nouns. This term reflects a evaluative mood, signaling that something is considered worthwhile to desire or pursue.
