mirëpaguar

Mirëpaguar is an Albanian adjective meaning well paid. It describes wages or compensation that are satisfactory or above average. The term is formed from mirë (good) and paguar (paid), with paguar serving as the past participle of the verb pagar, used here as part of a compound adjective.

In usage, mirëpaguar appears in media, recruitment materials, and economic analyses to indicate that a position, salary, or employer offers competitive remuneration. The expression is relative and context-dependent; what counts as well-paid varies by industry, region, and current economic conditions. Some writers also treat the term as two words, mirë paguar, while others use the closed form mirëpaguar; both forms are encountered in Albanian texts.

The term primarily denotes the level of pay and does not inherently convey other aspects of job quality such as benefits, job satisfaction, or advancement opportunities. It is common in discussions of the labor market and in job advertisements when a higher salary is a selling point. In sentences, one might say that “kjo pozitë është mirëpaguar” or “pagat janë mirëpaguar për këtë sektor,” noting that usage can differ between formal and informal registers.
