observatorëve

Observatorëve is the genitive/dative plural form of observator in Albanian. The noun observator means observer, monitor, or person who watches and records events or phenomena. The term is a loanword, historically borrowed from Latin observator or its descendants in Romance languages, and integrated into Albanian with the standard -tor suffix and plural forms.

In Albanian, observatorët is the definite plural nominative form (the observers), while observatorëve represents the genitive/dative plural. This form is used after prepositions or in possessive constructions to denote belonging or relation, such as in libri i observatorëve (the observers’ books) or raporti i observatorëve ndërkombëtarë (the report of the international observers). The genitive plural commonly appears with the definite article on the following noun, producing phrases like observatorëve as the possessed or related noun.

Usage notes: observatorëve appears in formal, legal, media, and academic contexts where observers are referenced, for example in election monitoring, scientific observation, or oversight roles. The word illustrates Albanian’s postposed definite article and its handling of genitive and dative plural forms, which differ from the nominative plural observatorët. Understanding the genitive plural is essential for correct attribution and possession in many standard phrases involving observers.
