profesionistëve

Profesionistëve is the oblique plural form of the Albanian noun profesionist, commonly translated as “the professionals.” The term refers to individuals who practice a profession or who have formal training, credentials, or recognized expertise in a given field. In Albanian discourse, profesionistë appear across sectors such as health, law, engineering, education, business, arts, and public administration, and the concept is used to discuss standards, ethics, and professional identity.

Grammatical note: Albanian nouns have distinct definite and oblique forms. The nominative definite plural is profesionistët, while the oblique (genitive/dative) plural is profesionistëve. The form profesionistëve appears after prepositions such as për, nga, me, kundër, or in possessive or descriptive phrases, for example, për profesionistëve të sektorit shëndetësor, biseda me profesionistëve të fushës.

Applications: In policy, media, and scholarly writing, the word is used to refer to groups of practitioners and to discuss professional standards, ethics, licensing, and continuing education. The term also underpins the broader process of professionalization, whereby a field adopts formal training, codes of conduct, and credentialing to justify autonomy and public trust.
