listää

Listë is an Albanian feminine noun meaning a compiled collection of items arranged in a sequence or categorized in some order. It denotes a record, inventory, or roster and is used for everyday tasks such as shopping lists, administrative records, or public listings. In electoral and political contexts, it commonly refers to a ballot slate or list of candidates, as in listë zgjedhore.

The term is a loanword in Albanian, typically traced to Turkish liste, with parallel forms in other European languages such as Italian lista and English list. In Albanian orthography it appears as listë, with the definite form listja and the indefinite form një listë. The word is widely understood across dialects and registers and is versatile across formal and informal speech.

In contemporary usage, listë also appears in computing and information contexts as a translation for the English word “list,” referring to a sequence of elements or a data structure. This reflects its broad semantic scope as a generic container of ordered items.
