lëndësh

Lëndësh is a term that appears in Albanian primarily as an inflected form of the noun lëndë. The base word lëndë commonly means substance, material, or an academic subject. In scientific and industrial contexts, lëndë denotes a substance or material, such as lëndë kimike (chemical substance) or lëndë ushqimore (food ingredient).

The form lëndësh is typically found in phrases that require a genitive or other grammatical ending, rather than as a standalone headword. For example, one may encounter constructions like "përbërja e lëndësh të ndryshme," which translates roughly to "the composition of various substances." In standard Albanian, the substantive meaning centers on lëndë, with lëndësh serving a grammatical function within phrases rather than constituting a separate lexical entry.

In contrast, the related term for injury is lëndim (plural lëndime). Lëndë and its inflected forms are not used to mean injury in contemporary standard Albanian; lëndim is the appropriate word in medical or everyday contexts when referring to bodily harm.

Notes

- The precise usage of lëndësh can vary by dialect and register, but in general it functions as a morphological form of lëndë rather than as an independent concept. For authoritative guidance, consult a standard Albanian dictionary.
