konstantën

Konstantën is a term that appears in Albanian-language texts as the definite singular form of the noun konstanta, commonly translated as "the constant." In scientific and mathematical writing, the concept of a constant refers to a quantity that does not change under specified conditions, and konstantën serves as the grammatical form used in sentences where the constant is the object or otherwise requires a definite reference.

In mathematics, constants are fixed numbers that appear in equations, formulas, and theoretical statements. In physics and engineering, constants such as the gravitational constant or Planck constant play a similar role, providing stable values that anchor models and calculations. The Albanian usage of konstantën reflects these ideas, with the surrounding language indicating which specific constant is meant, often through accompanying adjectives, clauses, or possessives.

Etymology and form: konstantën derives from konstanta (the base word meaning "constant") with Albanian morphology that marks definiteness or case in context. In practice, writers clarify meaning with phrases like vlera e konstantës (the value of the constant) or konstatën e një konstante të caktuar (the constant of a given constant), depending on sentence structure.

Notable uses and variants: outside technical writing, the word may appear in educational materials, glossaries, and introductory texts to explain the idea of invariance and fixed values. The term is typically paired with context that identifies which constant is being discussed.
