qeverisë

Qeverisë is the genitive singular form of the Albanian noun qeveria, which means the government. It is used to indicate possession or association with the government, appearing in phrases such as ligjet e qeverisë (the laws of the government) and vendimet e qeverisë (the government’s decrees).

In Albanian, qeveria denotes the state’s executive authorities, typically including the cabinet and the prime minister. The term is common in official language, media, and academic writing to refer to the governing body of a country or region. The word can also appear in discussions of policy, administration, and public affairs, where attribution to the government is intended.

The plural form qeveritë means go vernments or different administrations, and is used when speaking of multiple governments across time or in comparative contexts. The form qeverisë is usually confined to genitive or dative constructions within sentences, while other cases and prepositional phrases adapt according to Albanian grammar.

Etymology and usage notes: qeveria is an established Albanian term for government, with its development shaped by contact with European governance vocabulary, including Romance-language forms such as governo/gouvernement in historical borrowings. It remains a standard term in both Albania and Kosovo, as well as in Albanian-language media and scholarship. See also Albanian language; Government; Constitutional law.
