njëmbëdhjetë

Njëmbëdhjetë is the Albanian word for the number eleven. It is a cardinal number, representing a quantity of eleven items. In the Albanian numeral system, "njëmbëdhjetë" follows the number dhjetë (ten) and precedes dymbëdhjetë (twelve). It is formed by combining "një" (one) and "mbëdhjetë," which is a suffix indicating numbers from eleven to nineteen. This etymological structure is common in Albanian for numbers in this range. For instance, thirteen is trembëdhjetë (three-teen). The number eleven has cultural significance in various contexts, although specifically in Albanian culture, it does not hold as prominent a symbolic meaning as some other numbers. It functions simply as a numerical value in everyday counting, mathematics, and other applications requiring the quantification of eleven units. The spelling and pronunciation of "njëmbëdhjetë" are standard within the Albanian language.
