përftimi

Përftimi is an Albanian word that broadly translates to "acquisition," "obtainment," or "derivation." Its precise meaning can vary depending on the context in which it is used. In a general sense, it refers to the act of coming into possession of something, whether it be a tangible object, an abstract concept, or a skill.

In legal and economic contexts, përftimi often denotes the legal or legitimate acquisition of property or rights. This could involve purchasing, inheriting, or otherwise legally obtaining ownership. For instance, one might speak of the "përftimi i pronës" which means the acquisition of property.

In a more figurative sense, përftimi can describe the process of gaining knowledge, understanding, or skills. For example, "përftimi i dijeve" refers to the acquisition of knowledge. It implies a process of learning and assimilation. The word can also be used to describe the development or formation of something, such as the "përftimi i një zakoni," meaning the formation of a habit. The root of the word is related to the verb "ftoj," meaning to invite or to attract, suggesting a process of drawing something towards oneself or developing it through attraction or influence. Therefore, përftimi encapsulates a range of meanings related to gaining, obtaining, or developing something through various means, both concrete and abstract.
