gjendje

Gjendje is a noun in the Albanian language that denotes the condition, state, or situation of a person, object, or system. It is a broad term that can describe physical state, health, mood, or circumstantial status at a given moment. The word is common in everyday conversation and appears in professional and technical registers where a precise description of status is required.

In health and welfare contexts, gjendje is widely used in phrases such as gjendja shëndetësore (health condition) or gjendja psikologjike (mental state). In everyday use, one might say një makinë në gjendje të mirë (a car in good condition) or gjendja e përgjithshme e diçkaje (the general state of something). In administration and law, expressions like në gjendje të jashtëzakonshme (in a state of emergency) reflect its formal utility.

In fields such as engineering, transport, and data monitoring, gjendje describes the current status of devices and systems—e.g., gjendja e motorit (state of the engine), gjendja e sistemit (system status). In philosophy and linguistics, it is used to discuss mental or physical states and temporary conditions.

Etymology traces the word to Albanian usage for “condition” or “state” and it is connected to the broader semantic field of state and condition found in many languages. Gjendje functions as a common, versatile term without a fixed referent beyond its descriptive scope.
