shkelë

Shkelë is a term that can refer to several things, primarily in Albanian language and culture. The most common meaning relates to a foot or a step, derived from the verb "shkel," meaning to step or tread. In this context, "shkelë" can denote a footprint, the mark left by a foot, or simply the act of walking.

The term can also appear in various idiomatic expressions. For instance, "të vësh dikë në shkelë" literally translates to "to put someone on a step," but it means to put someone in their place or to discipline them. Conversely, "të dalësh nga shkelët" means to overstep boundaries or to be insolent.

In some contexts, "shkelë" might be used colloquially to refer to a small, measured distance, akin to a stride. However, this usage is less common and more regional. The precise meaning often depends on the surrounding words and the overall context of the conversation or text. Therefore, understanding the specific usage of "shkelë" requires attention to its grammatical and semantic environment.
