këshillash

Këshillash is an Albanian word form that can function as the genitive plural of two related nouns, këshillë and këshill. Because këshillë commonly means advice or counsel and këshill can mean a council or advisory body, këshillash can translate to “of advice” or “of councils” depending on the context. The exact sense is determined by surrounding words and the broader topic of discussion.

In usage, këshillash appears mainly in more formal or institutional language, such as legal, governmental, academic, or policy writing. It is used to indicate possession or association with multiple pieces of guidance or with multiple advisory bodies. Distinguishing whether the reference is to advice or to councils relies on accompanying terms—for example, phrases that refer to recommendations, directives, or deliberative bodies will signal councils, while references to guidance, recommendations, or instructions will signal advice.

Semantically, këshillash belongs to a field of meaning related to guidance and governance. Its English equivalents are context-dependent and can be rendered as “of advice,” “of counsel,” or “of councils.” The form illustrates how Albanian uses shared roots to express related ideas with a single inflected form.
