lehtësim

Lehtësim is an Albanian noun denoting relief, ease, or alleviation from a burden, discomfort, or hardship. The term derives from lehtë, meaning light or easy, with the suffix -sim forming nouns that indicate the result or process. In everyday language it can refer to physical relief (lehtësim nga dhimbja), emotional comfort, or relief from tasks and obligations.

In medical contexts, lehtësim describes the alleviation of symptoms, such as pain, fever, or distress, often achieved through medications or therapies. In economic and policy contexts, lehtësim designates measures that reduce burdens on individuals or groups, such as tax relief (lehtësi tatimore or lehtësim tatimor), financial assistance, or debt relief. In law and governance, administrations may announce lehtësime to ease regulatory or administrative burdens, streamline procedures, or spur economic activity.

The term is used across Albanian-speaking communities and appears in formal writing and media, with nuances similar to English relief, alleviation, or easing. Related phrases include lehtësuar (to ease), lehtë (easy), and lehtësi (ease or convenience). The concept emphasizes reducing hardship rather than creating new obligations, and it is often part of social welfare, healthcare, and fiscal policy discussions.
