pikësh

Pikësh is a term used in Albanian to denote a punctuation mark. Specifically, it refers to the period (.), which signifies the end of a declarative sentence. In Albanian grammar, the pikësh plays a crucial role in sentence structure and clarity, helping to separate complete thoughts and ideas. When writing in Albanian, the correct placement of the pikësh is essential for conveying meaning accurately. It is used similarly to its counterparts in many other languages, marking the conclusion of a statement or command. The absence or misplacement of a pikësh can alter the intended meaning of a sentence, making it appear incomplete or grammatically incorrect. In digital communication, the pikësh is also used to close sentences in emails, text messages, and other forms of written correspondence. Its function remains consistent: to signal the end of a thought.
