panjohurës

Panjohurës is a term that originates from Albanian and literally translates to "no one knows." It is used colloquially to refer to an unknown person or an unidentified individual. The expression is often employed when an action has been performed or a statement has been made, but the perpetrator or source remains unknown. For instance, if a piece of graffiti appears overnight, one might say, "Panjohurës did it." It can also be used in a more abstract sense to denote a lack of understanding or a mystery.

The term is part of a broader category of indefinite pronouns and adverbs in Albanian, which deal with uncertainty and lack of specific identification. While it can be used humorously, it also serves a practical purpose in everyday conversation to describe situations where accountability or origin is unclear. The concept of "panjohurës" highlights a common human experience of encountering the unknown, whether it be a person, an object, or a phenomenon. Its usage is widespread across Albania and Albanian-speaking regions.
