njëshirësh

njëshirësh is a term that appears in some Albanian dialects, particularly in the northern regions. It is a compound word formed from "një" meaning "one" and "shirë" which relates to a line or row, or sometimes a streak or a single instance of something. Thus, njëshirësh can be interpreted as "one by one," "in single file," or "individually."

The usage of njëshirësh often implies a sequential or individual manner of doing something. For example, one might say that people entered the building njëshirësh, meaning they entered one after another, or that objects were counted njëshirësh, indicating they were counted individually. It emphasizes the discrete nature of the action or the items involved, as opposed to a group or a collective approach. While not a standardized term found in all Albanian dictionaries, its meaning is generally understood within the contexts where it is used, serving as a descriptive adverb to refine the way an action is performed. Its presence highlights the rich and varied nature of Albanian dialects.
