përshkruara

Përshkruara is an Albanian term that functions as a past participle of the verb përshkruaj, meaning to describe. It is used as a descriptive adjective to indicate that something has been described. The form is typically employed in contexts where a description has been provided or recorded, such as in academic writing, journalism, or literature.

In Albanian, participles agree with the noun they modify in gender and number. The masculine singular form of the participle is usually përshkruar, while përshkruara appears in contexts where the noun is feminine or in certain grammatical constructions. This agreement allows përshkruara to modify feminine nouns or feminine plural phrases, though usage can vary with style and dialect.

Common uses include describing documents, statements, or narratives that have already been described by someone else. For example, in a sentence such as historitë e përshkruara nga dëshmitarët, the phrase means “the described stories by the witnesses.” The term helps writers distinguish between what is being described and other elements in the discourse.
